The Matata Debris Flow
The event |
Consequences |
Estimated Recovery Costs
|
A debris flow occurred on the 18th of May 2005 when a band of intense rain fell in the catchments behind Matata in the Bay of Plenty region
|
The highly erosive debris flows cleaned out the valley bottoms and destabilised the slopes along the channel, causing secondary landslides
Structurally damage to all buildings and bridges in their paths and at several locations the associated debris floods also were structurally damaging
Civil Defence Emergency was declared on 18th May 2005 until the end of May |
$2,937,000 for buildings subject to restricted use
$9,740,000 for unsafe buildings

Lessons learnt about the need for future improvements
|
|
Recovery at Matata relied heavily on Central Government funding
In Matata the state of emergency was extended to allow work to be completed on critical road access routes but still only lasted two weeks
Funding took some time to come through whilst government requested and were awaiting details of the costs. This frustrated the local population
