ShakeOut- Thursday 24th October 2024
They are sending an alert or siren for the New Zealand ShakeOut drill.
ShakeOut is a self-run drill that can be done at any time. There won't be a mobile alert or notification.
In a real situation, there is never an alert before an earthquake. The shaking is your natural cue to keep yourself safe and Drop, Cover and Hold.
There may also not be enough time for an alert before a tsunami. So if you're near the coast, and the earthquake was 'long or strong', don't wait for an official warning - evacuate to higher ground.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
