An information evening is taking place at Twizel Events Centre on Wednesday 14 May from 7:00pm for Alpine Fault magnitude 8 (AF8) earthquake preparedness and response. The information evening is a joint venture between seismologists, civil defence, and Ngāi Tahu iwi, and is supported by Mackenzie District Council.
While we can’t predict when earthquakes will occur, scientific research has shown that the Alpine Fault has a history of generating regular, large earthquakes.
The next event is likely to occur within the lifetime of most of us, or our children and young people, for whom this is likely to have major short and long-term impacts.
