Tsunami Blue Lines
Spotted! The first tsunami Blue Lines in Lower Hutt have started to be painted. Blue Lines are road markings that show the likely maximum reach of a large tsunami. They also show where you need to get past in such an event. Remember if an earthquake is long or strong - get gone! Don't wait for an official tsunami warning.
Hutt City Council, Wellington Regional Emergency Management Office (WREMO), and GNS Science have worked together in Lower Hutt to identify where the Blue Lines should go. It's going to take a while for all the Blue Lines to be painted as we'll need a run of good weather but in the meantime you can check out where they're going on our website
www.huttcity.govt.nz.... In the next few weeks every household in Lower Hutt will also receive a pamphlet with more information about Blue Lines.
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)
.
