Te Matau-a-Māui/Hawke’s Bay and Te Tai Rāwhiti/Gisborne regional report of the impact of extreme weather events on young people and their families: Evidence from Growing Up in New Zealand.

The purpose of this report is to provide descriptive information of the available data from the Extreme Weather Events (EWE) survey conducted by Growing Up in New Zealand (GUiNZ) from participants in the Te Matau-a-Māui/Hawke’s Bay (n = 59, 2.9%), and Te Tai Rāwhiti/Gisborne (n < 10) regions, which we will refer to as the East Coast. This report provides an overview of the utility of the data for future research which can be used concurrently with longitudinal data from GUiNZ to demonstrate the impact of experiencing extreme weather events on young people and their families.

This regional report only highlights some of the available data; for more details, see the Growing Up in New Zealand website or the full report (links available under related materials below).
