EQC Toka Tū Ake, also known as the Earthquake Commission, (Māori: Kōmihana Rūwhenua), is a New Zealand Crown entity that invests in natural disaster research and education as well as providing natural disaster insurance to residential property owners.[3] In March 2022, a bill was introduced to, among other changes, update the name of the Earthquake Commission to Toka Tū Ake – Natural Hazards Commission.[4][5]
It was established in its current form by the Earthquake Commission Act 1993,[6] which was a continuation of the Earthquake and War Damage Commission, set up in 1945.[7] It operates under the provisions of that EQC Act and of other relevant law, such as the Crown Entities Act 2004.[8]
