Can you help? Survey respondents needed for tsunami evacuation response project
Residents living in coastal areas including Redcliffs and Sumner, who evacuated the night of the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake, are being called to take part in a major research project.
Canterbury University is aiming to survey as many residents as possible to collect data on the tsunami evacuation response which took place following the magnitude 7.8 earthquake.
It will focus on residents living in coastal areas such as New Brighton, Southshore and the bays of Banks Peninsula.
The survey will run over several months and a preliminary report will be completed at the end of the
year.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
