Tsunami Advisory still in force
The Auckland people are asked to remain vigilant whilst the Tsunami Advisory - Potential Threat to NZ remains in force.
A tsunami can be a series of waves and the first will not necessarily be the largest. The Tsunami Advisory will remain in force until the expert scientific advice indicates there is no further threat and a cancellation is issued.
The Auckland Civil Defence
Emergency Management Group still advises people to keep away
from areas below until cancellation of the
warning:
• Low-lying areas / roads /
bridges
• Beaches
• Estuaries
• Marinas and
harbours due to fast-running currents
• The threat of
strong currents also remains
