TSUNAMI<br />
EVACUATION ZONES<br />
A tsunami evacuation zone is an area you may need to<br />
evacuate from if you feel a long or strong earthquake<br />
or if there is an official tsunami warning.<br />
There are three tsunami evacuation zones – red, orange and yellow.<br />
Red evacuation zone<br />
This is an area that<br />
is most likely to be<br />
affected by tsunami.<br />
This includes the<br />
sea, estuaries,<br />
rivers, beaches<br />
and harbours.<br />
Orange evacuation zone<br />
This is an area that<br />
is less likely to be<br />
affected by tsunami.<br />
This includes areas<br />
on land that could<br />
be flooded in a<br />
large tsunami.<br />
Yellow evacuation zone<br />
This is an area that<br />
is least likely to be<br />
affected by tsunami.<br />
This could be<br />
flooded or isolated<br />
in a very large<br />
tsunami.<br />
