Extreme weather science response
The government reallocated $11.31 million for urgent scientific research and data collection to support the response to and recovery from the early-2023 extreme weather events in the North Island.

There was, and continues to be, high demand for research, data collection and science services to address immediate needs and inform recovery decisions following Auckland Anniversary weekend floods and Cyclone Gabrielle.
Funding was reallocated from existing investments to provide the necessary support the sector and affected communities needed. $8.6 million funded urgent scientific research and data collection, $2.21 million is set aside for Māori-determined priorities and $500,000 is going to a Recovery Advice Fund for affected councils.

Urgent scientific research and data collection
The extreme weather science response funded time-bound, evidence-based science services and perishable research and data collection to address immediate needs and inform response decisions following the North Island extreme weather events in early 2023.
Māori-determined extreme weather fund
The Māori-determined extreme weather fund supports projects that connect hapū, marae and haptoral Māori with research, science and innovation system resources in their ongoing recovery to the 2023 North Island extreme weather events and in aid of their preparation for future extreme weather events.
Extreme Weather Recovery Advice Fund
The Extreme Weather Recovery Advice Fund enabled regional councils affected by the North Island extreme weather events in early 2023 to access science advice to inform their ongoing recovery efforts.
Extreme weather research database
This database is supporting greater connection and cooperation by showing what extreme weather-related research is happening and who is doing it.
If you’re undertaking or funding extreme weather-related research, please include details of your mahi.
