Tsunami warning system gets $3 million 'fit for purpose' upgrade
Christchurch’s tsunami warning system is getting a $3 million upgrade as the city council installs sirens further inland and on Banks Peninsula.
The existing 45 sirens, which extend from Brooklands to Taylors Mistake, were installed between 2011 and 2015, and do not cover inland areas now deemed to be at risk of flooding if a large tsunami hits.
Banks Peninsula was also left out of the initial roll-out.
The Christchurch City Council unanimously decided on Tuesday to extend the existing system to the peninsula and other city suburbs.
The new city locations were likely to cover areas including Dallington, Avonside, Wainoni and Aranui, after parts of these areas were added to the tsunami evacuation zones following a 2019 report. Another 12,600 properties were deemed to be in the zone.
