Tsunami siren test on Sunday 4 April
A friendly reminder, at noon this Sunday 4 April Auckland Emergency Management will be testing the tsunami siren network across the Auckland region. This is a test we do twice a year with the change of day light saving. When the sirens sound, you are not required to do anything. During the test, the sirens may sound a number of times for a maximum of 10 minutes. On Sunday, we will only be testing the siren network, not all forms of alerts.
You can find out more info about our siren testing and the locations of the tsunami sirens here: ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
