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?

These overflows are partially treated wastewater, highly diluted and are discharged at normal discharge points.
There has also been overflows from a number of wastewater pumping stations and manholes throughout the entire region.
Please keep out of any flood water as it may be contaminated with wastewater or surface pollution (as well as possibly hiding hazards such as open manholes or ditches). If you see issues, call Council on 570 6666 to report it.
Please avoid swimming or collecting seafood from harbours, rivers and streams for 48 hours after heavy rain.

Petone Wharf is still closed but some suggestions have been made to use it for ferry services between the Hutt and Wellington. Hutt South Labour candidate Ginny Andersen called a service a "must" to reduce SH2 traffic. What do you think? Would you take a ferry?
