Tsunami siren test on Sunday 4 April
Today at noon (Sunday 4 April) Auckland Emergency Management will be testing the tsunami siren network across the Auckland region. This is a test we do twice a year with the change of day light saving which allows us to check that the sirens are working as they should. During the test, the sirens may sound a number of times for a maximum of 10 minutes, you are not required to do anything.
We will only be testing the siren network and not the other alerting systems.
You can find out more info about our siren testing and the locations of the tsunami sirens here: bit.ly...

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!
