New Zealand ShakeOut is our national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi (walk), taking place on Thursday 18 October 2018, at 9:30am.
All of New Zealand is at risk of earthquakes and all of our coastline is at risk of tsunami. We can’t predict when one will happen, but we can protect ourselves and our family.
Local authorities are responsible for civil defence emergency management (CDEM) in their area. If life or property is threatened always dial 111 for Police, Fire or Ambulance.
Emergency Mobile Alerts are messages about emergencies sent by authorised emergency agencies to capable mobile phones.
Have your say about the future of civil defence emergency management in New Zealand. Public consultation on a proposed National Disaster Resilience Strategy for New Zealand is now open.
