Otago Tsunami Advisory #2

The tsunami threat to the South Island has been lifted.  
 
The Otago Civil Defence Emergency Management Group activated in response to the tsunami advisory of a potential threat to the coast. We are in a monitoring response.
 
The warning is still in place for the north coast of the North Island. It is worth anyone on the coast being aware of the earthquake and alert to any unusual wave patterns.
