ECAN weather events data

Tracy Clark made this Official Information request to Canterbury Regional Council

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Tracy Clark to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Tracy Clark

Dear Canterbury Regional Council,

In your draft long term plan you repeatable discuss the effect of climate change on flooding in the region. Given we are now in a climate emergency can ECAN provide the numbers of flooding events in Canterbury occurring over the last 50 years, to show that, due to climate change, this number has been increasing and hence concrete evidence of this emergency?

Yours faithfully,

Tracy Clark

Kia ora Tracy,

 

We are getting in touch to seek some clarification around your request for
the number of flooding events occurring in Canterbury over the last 50
years (1974 – 2024).

 

We unfortunately are not able to provide this information before the close
of our public consultation period for the draft Long Term Plan on Sunday
14 April. We would like to work with you to provide you with what we can,
to enable you to make an informed submission on the draft Long Term Plan
2024-34.

 

Could you please contact our office via phone 0800 324 636 between 8 – 5
Mon – Fri (except public holidays) and request to speak with Nick
Griffiths who is expecting your call to talk through what we can provide
and in what timeframes. You can also contact us via email
([1][email address]) and we will ensure your email and contact
details will be directed to a staff member to get in touch with you.

 

Ngâ mihi,

Environment Canterbury

Dear LGOIMA,

Thank you for your reply
although this reply will be outside the required time frame for the public submissions it would still be valuable to understand with what certainty ECAN has around these statements. ECAN believes that weather events have been worsening over the time frame of, say, 50 years (or some other arbitrary time frame). Given the certainty that ECAN proposes this can ECAN release the data that it is using to claim this?

Yours sincerely,

Tracy Clark
