Our apparent apathy over tsunami system - what can we do to improve this?
A new approach to the tsunami threat has been met with apathy by Lower Hutt residents.
Instead of relying on sirens, the council is encouraging people to respond to a large earthquake by moving inland but turnout to the city council's recent public information meetings to discuss the new approach has been poor. What do you think of our current warning system - could it be improved? And how can we get more people invested in safety?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated
