Recommendations for Tsunami Work Programme

The Tsunami Work Programme aims to prepare Auckland for a tsunami emergency.

To identify areas and communities most at risk, we worked with the National Emergency Management Agency and Civil Defence Emergency Management Groups.

We developed recommendations for all local boards areas to prepare coastal communities during an emergency.

We need your feedback on our recommendations.

Your feedback will be presented to the Civil Defence and Emergency Management Committee.

Our recommendations

Our recommendations include ways to grow tsunami resilience before and during an emergency.

The recommendations are separated into things that may already be happening but should be enhanced or updated, and new initiatives that should be developed.

For a full overview of recommendations across the reigon, check Enhancing Tsunami Resilience in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland: Recommendations by local board area [PDF 9.98MB].

You can also download individual chapters of the booklet.
