    New Tsunami Evacuation Zones for Mid and South Canterbury

    Following World Tsunami Awareness Day on Saturday 5 November (yes, it is a thing – and a good time to check in on our tsunami preparedness!) the tsunami evacuation zones for Mid and South Canterbury were updated.   

    On Monday 07 November 2022 Ashburton, Timaru and Waimate districts released their new tsunami evacuation zones. Those are areas that you may need to evacuate from, or stay out of, after a long or strong earthquake, or if there is an official tsunami advisory or warning in place.
