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.

Time to get harder on people
Bring in the army if ya wanna save lives get some action going I wanna go back ta work
Stay the hell at home!! Ruining it for those that are actually staying home 😭
It's idiots like this who are treating this as one big holiday that mean lockdown will go on for longer
Just shows how many truly stupid people there are!
What don't people get about this?!
Should put their photos/regos on and shame them, like the bridge jumpers up central.
It's southland's relaxed attitude and thinking this won't affect them.
Come on people.....seriously. This has got to stop or we are all going to be in lockdown for a very long time.
Geez the government need to be harder on people or this lockdown is not going to be over in the time they have given come on people use your heads
Why don’t they just close the bridge except for residents only???
Southland has the highest rise of dhb recorded cases which means we will be one of the last regions to be lifted if things keep going the way they are 👌 great job guys..
Block the road off...residents only going through 🤷♀️

🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 ffs really
Some people don't want to be told NO, they can't handle it so they do it anyway. Selfish and not thinking of others. Stay Home !
In Townsville Australia they did a patrol on The Strand and fined each person $1300..should be doing that in New Zealand..
if you stay within your so called bubble, why not, plenty of acres out there, for you to keep 20mts apart. I would rather be there, than queuing up in that sill bloody tunnel at windsor new world
Come on southland we are better than this stay home please the sooner we all stay home the quicker we will recover and go back to normal not to mention we need to keep every one safe from this virus especially the vulnerable lets step up southland.
Just stay the fuck at home how hard is it if you were sick on a normal work situation you would stay at home
😡
This just goes to show most would never survive a war!!
It's good to see people are just as frustrated about this as we are, but don't forget to be kind. And remember, it's not just about whether you are physical distancing, it's about reducing the traffic on the road and reducing the risk of accidents to keep our emergency services safe and less pressure on our healthcare system.
Don’t blame ‘everyone’ not everyone’ is ignorant 😤
Why can't they be taken off the market ?
Slow day at the council?
Kim Colvin they might be able to help
