Whakatane 居民可能只有 25 分钟逃离海啸

Share:

Mawera Karetai和她的儿子杰克·卡雷泰-巴雷特已经为自然灾害做好了充分的准备,救生物资存放在家里的背包里和车里。当地研究员马韦拉警告说,新西兰的一个小镇瓦卡塔内需要为类似于2011年日本事件的大地震和海啸做准备。

研究北岛东海岸附近的希库兰吉俯冲带的科学家预测,未来50年内可能会发生大地震。有25%的可能性可能与9.1级地震一样大。Mawera警告说,这样的事件可能会导致重大的基础设施破坏和隔离,因为资源将流向城市。

下个月,Mawera与地质研究机构GNS的地震学家组织了一系列研讨会。她认为,城里的许多人没有为地震做好充分的准备。研讨会将讨论各种面临风险的断层线,包括城镇下方的俯冲带。与会者应带着一份关于如何保护社区安全的行动计划离开。

马韦拉已经与华卡塔内区议会进行了交谈,她担心他们没有该镇的疏散计划。该委员会表示,他们致力于提高社区对灾害教育的认识和理解。

该委员会已开始开展一项多机构项目,为海啸和洪水风险制定新的疏散程序和程序。他们还在整个地区建立民防中心,以便在自然灾害事件发生后提供应急资源。

这些研讨会是名为 “我们不断变化的海岸” 的研究项目的一部分,该项目由商业、创新和就业部的努力基金资助。该项目调查了沿海社区的陆地移动和海平面上升等因素。Mawera被要求研究对生活在这些地区的年轻人的影响。

研讨会定于6月的最后一周举行。视其成功情况而定,它们可能会扩展到新西兰的所有沿海地区。
