Auckland Council, Civil Defence and
Emergency Management has been working
with the Orewa community and Rotary to
make Orewa tsunami ready.
A large earthquake could cause a tsunami in
Orewa, similar to the one that hit Japan in
2011. Because the rst tsunami wave could
arrive within an hour, it is important that
you have an evacuation plan and know your
nearest safe zone location.
We have identied safe zones and
evacuation routes for you to take in
the event of a tsunami.
Evacuation signs will be installed to
indicate the quickest routes to the safe
zones. Painted blue lines show where the
largest tsunami could reach and indicate
the safest zone.
Once you have walked or cycled past the
blue line, keep going and stay away until the
ofcial all-clear has been given.
Others may need help to evacuate
– remember those who might need
extra assistance.
Orewa tsunami preparedness and evacuation project
The only warning you may get from a tsunami caused by an earthquake
is the earthquake itself.
If you feel a long or strong earthquake, one that is hard to stand up in or that
continues for a minute or more, walk past the blue lines!
If you see any strange sea behaviour, such as a sudden rise or fall in sea level,
or hear unusual noises such as roaring like a jet plane, evacuate immediately.
