New Zealand ShakeOut, our national earthquake drill and tsunami hīkoi, is taking place on Thursday 18 October 2018 at 9:30 am*.
18 October is an important day for all residents of Henderson. In fact it’s an important day for all New Zealanders…
Do you have an idea of what you would do if an earthquake were to strike today in Henderson? Does your family or your workplace have a plan for how they will respond?
All of New Zealand is at risk of earthquakes and all of our coastline is at risk of tsunami. We can’t predict when they will happen, but we can definitely take steps to protect ourselves and our family.
I wanted to get in touch with you today to let you know about our national earthquake drill and tsunami hīkoi. More than 600,000 New Zealanders have already signed up to take part in this year.
New Zealand ShakeOut, is being held at 9.30am on 18 October. It’s a chance for your school, business, household or organisation to practice the right action to take before, during and after earthquakes and tsunami.
Whether you’re a household, business, organisation or school, you can sign up to take part and find information on how to plan your drill, and how to hold a tsunami hīkoi if you’re in a coastal region.
If you haven’t already made an emergency plan with your household, check out happen.nz and work it out today.
We look forward to shaking out with you!
All the best,
Sarah Stuart-Black
Director of Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency Management
