VIDEO - Early warning system to save lives

02 July 2024

Forty-two new state-of-the-art tsunami sirens are to be installed near coastal settlements around the Far North District over the coming months. Watch the video to see how this early warning system will help save lives.

Designed to alert people with loud, clear instructions on what to do in the event of a possible tsunami wave, the sirens were manufactured in Denmark and, unlike the old sirens, can use back up power sources during power outages to provide warnings during an emergency. The $6.5-million upgrade to the existing tsunami siren network around Northland will replace older, outdated technology with a more effective warning system for coastal communities. All four Northland councils are sharing the cost of the tsunami siren roll-out. Watch the video to see how this early warning system will help save lives.
