SunLive – Prepare for an earthquake in Tauranga

An earthquake can strike at any time, so it is important to know what to do.

People across New Zealand will join together at 9:30 am to practice the correct actions to take during the earthquake and tsunami by participating in the national ShakeOut exercise.

Tauranga City Council is behind National ShakeOut day, as employees visit the Natures Cove day nursery on Tuesday, October 26.

There, children were taught about the importance of knowing how to lay, cover, carry and practice turtle safety skills.

Turtle Safe is an educational procedure specifically developed to teach preschoolers what to do if they are indoors or outdoors when an earthquake occurs.

Early childhood educators are encouraged to do several hands-on exercises with children, so that they are familiar with these exercises.

By practicing Check Out every year, knowing what to do in the event of an earthquake and tsunami would become second nature, says Paula Nodd, Director of Emergency Management and Civil Defense.

We know that when children are involved in preparing for emergencies, they encourage their families to be more prepared. They are playing a more active role in emergency response and recovery.”

Rebecca Scott, owner of Natures Cover, says it’s critical that Tamariki and Kayako know what to do in an emergency — before any event happens.

“We achieve this by conducting monthly emergency preparedness drills and participating in the National ShakeOut day. This not only prepares the Kayako to effectively manage a response to an event, but also to support the Tamiriki to feel more comfortable during an emergency.”

National ShakeOut is based on the highly successful California campaign that started in 2008 and has now expanded to many US states and other countries such as Canada and Japan.

The 2021 ShakeOut Earthquake and Hikoi Tsunami/March or March exercises take place on Thursday, October 28, at 9:30 a.m. Over 657,000 participants have signed up nationwide.
