World Tsunami Awareness Day is this Saturday, 5 November.
Do you know your tsunami zone, at work, school AND home??
Tsunamis can be deadly, but they don't have to be – early action is our best tool to protect our community, saving lives, and avoiding the hazard becoming a disaster.
The number one rule if you're in a tsunami zone is, in an earthquake, long OR strong, get gone – don't wait for official warnings.
Check your zones on our evacuation zone finder at maps.kapiticoast.govt.nz... – type in the addresses of the places you regularly go to see what zone they're in.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
