The Ministry’s news release, which was quoted in ours, incorrectly identified the area where tsunami caused by local and regional sources pose a greater hazard than previously just as the north-west of Auckland.
This should have read the north-east and north-west part of the Auckland region and Great Barrier Island, along with the coasts of Northland, the Coromandel Peninsula, and the Bay of Plenty;
