Subject: This paper outlines the largely non-regulatory approach of New Zealand's government to the way risks of earthquakes and other natural hazards are managed. It suggests that the traditional approaches of centrally driven prescriptive mechanisms are incompatible with the market-oriented mechanisms that are used to manage land use and development of communities in New Zealand. It addresses the rise of risk management processes within the wider public sector as they apply to the management of natural hazards, and highlights the benefits of the risk management approach. It also discusses recent developments and potential future developments to further integrate the risk management approach to natural hazards
