Tsunami Warning
A message from Civil Defence Northland -
Kia ora koutou, Sunday 3 April (not this Sunday but the one following) will be the end of daylight saving, which means it's also time for another six-monthly test of the tsunami siren network in Northland coastal communities.
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.
We're grateful for the ongoing support of Northland's two electricity networks (Northpower and Top Energy NZ) and the volunteers - mainly from Community Response Groups - who assist our team by monitoring the sirens on the day.
You can check out whether you live, work or play in a tsunami evacuation zone, and plan the quickest route to safety, using the interactive maps here: www.nrc.govt.nz...
More detail about the tsunami siren test can be found in this media release:
