Use the Natural Hazards Portal(external link) to find information about natural hazards claims on specific properties. You can also find information and links to other sources about the risks posed to different areas of New Zealand.
Search a property for previous claims
Use the claims map(external link) to search for a property’s address. You can also navigate the map manually to zoom in on areas and select an address.
We’ll show you claims records for any natural hazards claim from 1997 onwards. A typical record on the claims map will show:
- the property address
- the natural hazard event date
- event type
- claim type (land or building).
You will be able to download a pdf of the information available. If you would like more information about the claims on a property you can make a claims information request on this website.
Claims which are still open and being assessed are not included on the map.
