Just over a week on from last Friday s tsunami evacuation alert for Northland, Susan Botting took a comprehensive look at how we handled it and what we can do better.
Northland s regional tsunami evacuation on March 5 was the biggest in New Zealand with tens of thousands shifting to higher ground along 3200 kilometres of coastline.
