Questions are being asked over whether all of Whakatāne needed to evacuate during the recent tsunami threat.
Nearly the whole town scrambled for the hills but according to maps on the Bay of Plenty Civil Defence website, only about a third of the town was in potential danger.
Maps show that most of Whakatāne south of Domain and Landing Rds would have been safe in a tsunami up to 8.25m high. The predicted tsunami on March 5 was of between 1m and 3m.

After an eleventh-hour communication glitch, the Ohope Water Slide is open for business.
Ōhope s Sam Oliver is behind the new summer attraction that has been constructed on farmland bordering Pohutukawa Ave and, if successful, may become an annual event.
Oliver has wanted to create a farm-based waterslide for several years and contacted the owners of the Pirini Block, the Keepa family, a few months ago.
Having studied industrial design at Massey University at Wellington, Oliver worked for an Auckland engineering firm for a year before losing his job due to Covid-19.
