Tsunamis may one day hit our North Canterbury coastline.
There’s no need to live in fear, but there is a need to prepare.
Last year Environment Canterbury commissioned GNS Science to model impacts of various tsunami scenarios for coastal areas throughout the region.
Subsequently, it has revised and re-modelled some Tsunami Evacuation Zones, which includes Hurunui district.

no need to live in fear, but there is a need to
prepare.
Last year Environment Canterbury commissioned
GNS Science to model impacts of various tsunami scenarios
for coastal areas throughout the region.
Subsequently,
it has revised and re-modelled some Tsunami Evacuation
Zones, which includes Hurunui district.
Hurunui
District Council (HDC) has been working closely with
Environment Canterbury, neighbouring councils and local
emergency services to create revised or refreshed evacuation
zones and response plans for the Southern Hurunui
coast.
At present, there is no change to Tsunami
Evacuation Zones north of Waipara Rocks, several kilometres
north of the Waipara River mouth.
