THE KEY HAZARDS IN NASEBY / RANFURLY / MANIOTOTO PLAIN Earthquake // Major Storms // Snowstorms Wildfire // Accident // Flood Earthquake New Zealand lies on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates. Most earthquakes occur at faults, which are breaks extending deep within the earth, caused by movements of these plates. There are thousands of earthquakes in New Zealand every year, but most of them are not felt because they are either small, or very deep within the earth. Each year there are about 150 – 200 quakes that are big enough to be felt. A large, damaging earthquake could occur at any time, and can be followed by aftershocks that continue for days or weeks. Major Storms / Snowstorms Major storms affect wide areas and can be accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain, thunder, lightning, tornadoes and snow. They can cause damage to property, infrastructure, affect crops and livestock and disrupt essential services. Severe weather warnings are issued by the MetService and available through the broadcast media, by email alerts, and online at www.metservice.co.nz 4 get ready...
