Tauranga City Council is encouraging people to practice their evacuation plans by inviting people to walk or cycle to the official opening of the purpose-built tsunami high ground on Saturday, 7 April from 3.30pm at Gordon Spratt Reserve, Papamoa. This a great way to test your personal evacuation plan.
At the event, there will be live entertainment from local bands Brilleaux and The Generators.
Both bands are stamping their mark on the international stage and this is one of the last opportunities to enjoy Brilleaux’s lively, rocking, rhythm and blues before they set off for their UK tour.
The music line up then continues with another local band, The Generators, playing energetic timeless covers for young and old to enjoy on the night.
Residents along our coastline now have a network of tsunami evacuation routes, safe locations and a suite of clearly marked evacuation maps and signs. However, none of this matters if people do not know where to go, or how and when to use this network.
Make a plan to join us at the event on Saturday, 7 April from 3.30pm, Gordon Spratt Reserve, Papamoa.
