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 />
