New Zealand manged to miss a lot of the damage caused by Tropical Cyclone Pam earlier this year. So what is the cyclone risk in New Zealand and how does it compare to say Australia?
The Global Risk Map provides useful insight. The map comes from the PSI Global Resilience Project, which is led by Insurance Australia Group (IAG) and was formally launched at a global insurance industry event in New York in June 2015.
ps If you are wondering why the there is a band around Malaysia where there are no cyclones. The explanation is that this is the 'doll-drums' a place with not much wind. Interestingly this is where cyclones are born but they need lateral wind to get fired up.
