More Banks Peninsula properties at risk of tsunami damage
Another 146 properties across Banks Peninsula are now considered under threat of flooding if a tsunami hits the Canterbury coastline.
The Christchurch City Council has updated its tsunami evacuation zones on the peninsula based on new scientific research.
Some 1549 street addresses are now included. The previous total was 1403.
“The latest modelling shows us that in most areas, flooding from a tsunami may extend further inland than allowed for under the previous tsunami evacuation zones,” council Civil Defence emergency management head Rob Orchard said.
People can check if their property is in a tsunami zone by viewing an interactive map on the council’s website.
