Updated Tsunami Evacuation Maps are now available.

Head’s Up - We have updated the Tsunami Evacuation Zone maps in our region!

Aotearoa’s entire coastline is at risk to tsunami. One way you can help prepare for a tsunami event is by checking whether you live, work, or spend time in a tsunami evacuation zone.

We’ve been working closely with our scientific partners from Earth Sciences New Zealand to provide the best available tsunami modelling and data. This allows us to work with local councils across the rohe (region) to create tsunami evacuation zones for communities. Now we’re able to update our maps with the latest and best available modelling and data.

Please familiarise yourself with the updated tsunami evacuation maps as some zone boundaries have changed. It’s important to check what zone you’re in and know where to go in a tsunami.

We’re currently in the process of replacing the physical tsunami map boards around the rohe with the updated versions, but you can find digital versions of these maps here.
