Tsunami warning cancelled
The tsunami marine and
beach threat for the Gisborne region has been
cancelled.
A marine and beach threat was issued shortly
after 6am and has now been lifted.
Tairawhiti Civil
Defence Emergency Management controller John Clarke
said:
“People should still be aware that unusual and strong currents and sea level fluctuations could still last for several more hours. If people feel another long and strong earthquake, they should again head for higher ground or as far inland as possible,”
In the event of another large earthquake, Tairawhiti Civil Defence Emergency Management advises people to listen to their local radio for advice from Civil Defence or see Gisborne District Council’s Facebook page.
