Well, we’re not sure how it happened but this coming Sunday, 2 April will be the end of daylight saving

That also means it's time for another six-monthly test of the tsunami siren network in Northland coastal communities

The sirens sound twice: firstly at 10am for 10 minutes and then again at 10.30am for 30 seconds, and will be monitored for any faults.

As always, we are continually grateful for the ongoing support of Northland's two electricity networks ( Northpower and Top Energy NZ ) and the volunteers - mainly from Community Response Groups - who assist our team by monitoring the sirens on the day.

You can check out whether you live, work or play in a tsunami evacuation zone, and plan the quickest route to safety, using the interactive maps here: www.nrc.govt.nz/evacuationzones
