In the event of a ngaru taitoko (tsunami), you may need to evacuate quickly to higher ground. Your first instinct may be to drive; however, this can cause traffic to jam up. If you can, you're better off walking (hīkoi) or riding a bike (paihikara). #TeWikiOTeReoMāori
It's Te Wiki o te Reo Māori. 🙌 We’re sharing emergency advice in te reo Māori this week, keep an eye out! If you are near the coast and an earthquake is he roa (long) he kaha (strong), me wehe tonu (get gone). Our website is available in Te Reo Māori: getready.govt.nz/mi_NZ

Imagine having no water for three days or more. How would you wash, cook, clean? What would you drink? You need three litres of water for each person for each day without water. And find more tips at getready.govt.nz/no-water/
Do you have a plan for your pets? Make sure you consider your pets when packing your grab bag If you have to leave home, take your pets with you and make sure you pack their essentials eg. food, medicine. If it’s not safe for you, it’s not safe for them. getready.govt.nz/pets-and-anima…
If you are in bed and an earthquake happens, stay in bed and pull the sheets and blankets over you and use your pillow to protect your head and neck. You are less likely to be injured if you stay in bed. If you are near the coast remember, Long or Strong, Get Gone.
If you’re stuck for conversation when visiting whānau, talk to them about being your out-of-town contact in an emergency. Sometimes when local phone lines are down, you can still reach people outside your area. Make a plan at getready.govt.nz/make-a-plan/
Do you know what to do during a storm? Stay inside and stay safe. Don't walk around outside, and avoid driving unless absolutely necessary. Stay informed by listening to the radio and follow your local Civil Defence Emergency Management Group online. getready.govt.nz/emergency/stor…

A shaky night for those in and around #Taupō, hope everyone is doing ok. This is a good reminder no matter where you are in Aotearoa, it's good to be #EQNZ prepared. Check out the video below for tips to secure your items and visit eqc.govt.nz/be-prepared/ho… bit.ly/3VAtPHu
If you are in bed when the shaking starts, STAY, COVER, HOLD❗️ (2/2)
If you are in bed when the shaking starts, STAY, COVER, HOLD❗️ 🛏 Stay in bed ➡️Cover yourself by pulling the sheets and blankets over you ➡️Hold your pillow over you to protect your head and neck You are less likely to be injured if you stay in bed. (1/2)
Taupō had a strong shake with several aftershocks this evening – a shallow M5.3 was felt widely by 5000+ people at 11:47 PM. Earthquakes are common for this area at VAL1. Remember, if you’re in bed when an earthquake occurs, Stay, Cover and Hold. geonet.org.nz/earthquake/202… #eqnz
On Monday, the 6th anniversary of the M7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake, we looked into what earthquake forecasts are all about. Today we explore how and why we make them. Read all about this interesting science here: geonet.org.nz/news/4ncpDL8uh… #eqnz
One of the best parts of my job is working with @NZcivildefence and @EQCNZ on promoting the ShakeOut earthquake drill, and looking for ways to make it even more effective. So cool to contribute to the recap of this year's event at Waimea School: youtu.be/ICO4YkKtCw4

⚠️ Windy conditions are expected across the motu (country) this week. ⚠️ If it is windy, do the math and don’t light fireworks. 🔥

@Sarnee That looks like excellent Drop, Cover and Hold form! Wouldn't you agree @NZGetReady? Thanks for sending through 👏👏
If you weren’t already thinking about earthquake readiness after New Zealand ShakeOut this week, earthquakes like this are a good reminder to be prepared. Remember to Drop, Cover and Hold if you feel shaking, and know your tsunami evacuation route if you live near the coast.
