Public Health experts are calling for a comprehensive, all-encompassing review of the impacts of Cyclone Gabrielle, almost a year on from New Zealand's costliest storm on record.
The estimated cost was $14.5 billion, with 11 people dying, more than 10,000 displaced, and causing a range of acute and long-term health effects.
Professor Nick Wilson from Otago University says New Zealand lacks resilient infrastructure, including for health critical water supplies and sewage systems.
Wilson spoke to Ben Strang.
