Disaster awareness<br />

• Similar to past years, Manawatu residents are more likely than average to say <strong>that</strong> a flood is a disaster<br />

<strong>that</strong> could occur in their lifetime (72%, cf. 57% national average). They are also more likely to say <strong>that</strong> a<br />

fire could occur in their lifetime (35%, cf. 23% national average).<br />

• In the event <strong>of</strong> an earthquake, Manawatu residents are less likely than average to say people should<br />

‘drop, cover, and hold’ (no respondents mentioned this, cf. 9% national average), however they are<br />

more likely to say <strong>that</strong> you should alert or check on family/friends/neighbours (63%, cf. 49% national<br />

average), and stay where you are/stay put (22%, cf. 9% national average).<br />

Sample size = 64<br />
