Tsunami Advisory still in force

The Auckland people are asked to remain vigilant whilst the Tsunami Advisory - Potential Threat to NZ remains in force.

A tsunami can be a series of waves and the first will not necessarily be the largest. The Tsunami Advisory will remain in force until the expert scientific advice indicates there is no further threat and a cancellation is issued.

The Auckland Civil Defence Emergency Management Group still advises people to keep away from areas below until cancellation of the warning:
• Low-lying areas / roads / bridges
• Beaches
• Estuaries
• Marinas and harbours due to fast-running currents
• The threat of strong currents also remains
