How to use our web Information & Emergency Situation Map
Did you know that our situation map is loaded with useful information about specific hazards in Southland?
- By simply clicking on the icon that looks like a stack of papers, “Layers List” (see fig 1) you get to open the layers feature which allows you to activate different layers on the map.
- By ticking e.g. Tsunami Evacuation Zones (fig 2), you will see the map update with evacuation zones.
- Zoom into the Invercargill/Riverton area and you will see the evacuation zones (fig 3).
- Untick a layer to remove it from the map. This feature is very handy if you want to zoom in a specific area and get more useful information.
Click on the “Legend” icon (right of Layers icon see fig 4) and find out what all the symbols mean on the map.

What time is this to happen on the 24th?
Funny, that's the same day I had marked to refresh our emergency water supplies and check everything is in good order!

God help us Emergency Management Southland, you don't even know your streams from your creeks. Hope the rest of your information is correct
