All of New Zealand’s coast line is at risk of tsunami.
Knowing the right immediate action to take can save lives and prevent injury. If you are near the coast and feel a strong earthquake that makes it hard to stand up, or a rolling earthquake that lasts longer than a minute, move immediately to high ground, or as far inland as possible.
The earthquake is your first warning, tsunami waves can arrive within minutes. Do not wait for official advice or warning systems.
Contact your local civil defence group for tsunami zone maps and plan your route today. www.civildefence.govt.nz...

She was disabled like me so took bit longer to take of. Had an injured leg and would sit on my knee so I could massage it. You hit her right on centre line. I was just coming around the corner. Was a green station wagon with blue on the bottom. You did not even stop to move her of the road. Would you run me over to as I am disabled from work accident. Everyone else watches out for them. They may not be anything to you but mean a lot to me. Since becoming disabled are one of the only things find enjoyment from. WHY. I know can be a pain but have 3 cats around here who chase them for fun. Are you going to aim for them to. Sorry but like family to me. I try protect all wildlife and animals around here. Started as good day but now feel like someone ripped my heart out.She could not move fast and to hit her on white line you aimed for her. Cars are not killing machines.. Why do you not just come punch me in the head. Would hurt less. I lost most of my quality of life in work accident and will lose husband as has terminal illness. Please do not kill anymore ducks. I try to keep an eye on them., but cannot move that fast
