An ongoing change in legislation means decision‐makers in Aotearoa New Zealand need to incorporate ‘mātauranga’ (Māori knowledge/knowledge system) in central and local government legislation and strategy. This paper develops a ‘te ao Māori’ (Māori worldview) disaster risk reduction (DRR) framework for non‐Māori decision‐makers to guide them through this process. This ‘interface framework’ will function as a Rosetta Stone between the ‘two worlds’. It intends to help central and local officials trained in Western knowledge‐based disciplines by translating standard DRR concepts into a te ao Māori DRR framework. It draws on previous work examining Māori DRR thinking to create a novel framework that can help these stakeholders when they are converting higher‐level theoretical insights from mātauranga Māori into more practical ‘on the ground’ applications. This type of interface is essential: while Indigenous knowledge's utility is increasingly recognised nationally and internationally, a gap remains between this acknowledgement and its practical and applied integration into emergency management legislation and strategy.

“te ao Māori”减少灾害风险框架

立法的持续变化意味着新西兰的决策者需要将“mātauranga”（毛利知识/知识体系）纳入中央和地方政府的立法和战略。本文为非毛利人决策者制定了“te ao Māori”（毛利人世界观）减少灾害风险 (DRR) 框架，以指导他们完成这一过程。这个“界面框架”将充当“两个世界”之间的罗塞塔石碑。它旨在通过将标准减少灾害风险概念转化为毛利人减少灾害风险框架，帮助接受西方知识学科培训的中央和地方官员。它借鉴了以前对毛利人减灾思想进行研究的工作，创建了一个新颖的框架，可以帮助这些利益相关者将毛利人的更高层次的理论见解转化为更实际的“实地”应用。这种类型的界面至关重要：虽然土著知识的效用在国内和国际上日益得到认可，但这种认识与其在实际应用中融入应急管理立法和战略之间仍然存在差距。
