Not mentioned in that New Zealand article is the most important aspect of New Zealand when it comes to the biggest doomsday risk out there - EMP/Electro Magnetic Pulse. New Zealand has no nuclear power plants, which means no Fukashima style meltdowns when the water pumps cooling the reactors stop functioning.

According to EMP expert Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, virtually all nuclear power plants rely on diesel backup generators to keep the water coolant running when/if the electric power supply is interrupted to the plant, which is what happens during a major EMP event - the electric power grid will go down for many months or even years.

Nuclear power plants have enough diesel fuel stored onsite to last between 2 and 4 weeks. Without fuel trucks to resupply the diesel (the trucks won't run after an EMP due to fried electrical systems), the power plant will go critical and explode (ala Fukashima) within 2-4 weeks after an EMP event.

The US has approx 100 nuclear power plants, New Zealand and Australia have none.
