Tauranga
About Tauranga
The largest city in the Bay of Plenty Region, Tauranga is home to approximately 160,000 people. A major economic, transport and commercial hub, Tauranga serves as a key centre for the region and is home to New Zealand’s largest port by export volume.
The city can experience storms, flooding, earthquakes and tsunami. Its coastal location, extensive harbour margins and low-lying areas mean some communities are particularly exposed to coastal inundation, river flooding and severe weather events.
Information during an emergency
During an emergency, information will be available through a number of channels from Bay of Plenty Civil Defence Emergency Management and Tauranga City Council.
Tauranga City Council will provide information to the community and visitors through a variety of channels, including their website and Facebook.
