Tsunami data has arrived

I'm happy to report that we have received data from GNS Science on our tsunami run-up modelling. I've handed this over to our GIS team to produce a map of one area to show the CEG on Tuesday. Following this, we can develop material to suit our needs including plan development as well as public awareness and education initiatives. I will circulate the report and raw GIS data to the EMOs and Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency Management as well.

The data will also reside in our GIS system as a layer of hazard information. As we grow the GIS for emergency management purposes, we will be able to activate the various hazard layers to compare with infrastructure, community developments and emergency responses.
