New modelling shows coastal North Canterbury towns under threat from tsunami

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Evacuation zones in North Canterbury will be reviewed after modelling showed coastal towns Kaiapoi and Pegasus could flood in a tsunami.

Environment Canterbury commissioned GNS Science to model the impacts of various tsunami scenarios for North Pegasus Bay, after work completed for Christchurch last year resulted in larger evacuation zones for the city.

The report shows that the largest tsunami threats could affect areas of the district outside current evacuation zones, including parts of the Kaiapoi and Pegasus townships. Read the full story here.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
