Did you know there will be tsunami siren testing on April 3?
Northland’s six-monthly tsunami siren test will take place at the end of daylight saving on Sunday 3 April.
The network includes more than 200 outdoor tsunami sirens in coastal communities, from Te Hapua in the north to Mangawhai in the south and Ruawai in the west - and everywhere in between like Taipa, pictured. The sirens are checked twice a year, coinciding with the start and finish of daylight saving.
The sirens sound twice: firstly at 10am for 10 minutes and then again at 10.30am for 30 seconds, and will be monitored for any faults. Indoor sirens will be tested at the same time and test alerts will also be sent to users of the Red Cross Hazard app, which can be downloaded for free.
