Tsunami Warning Update: Tsunami warnings sparked by the morning's quakes have now been cancelled

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

UPDATE: Tsunami warnings sparked by the morning's quakes have now been cancelled.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

There are no longer any tsunami warnings for New Zealand.

The largest waves following today's earthquakes have now passed.

Those who evacuated their homes can now return home.

There are no longer any beach and marine threats, but strong and unusual currents and surges will continue for up to another 24 hours.

People should remain vigilant and take extra precautions with regards to beach and ocean activities.

There were three earthquakes near the Kermadec Islands, north-east of NZ, this morning.

These included a magnitude 8.1 earthquake, a 7.1m, and a 7.4m earthquake.
