Pōrangahau is the first community in the region to receive tsunami 'Blue Lines'

Blue Lines are road markings that show the maximum reach of a large tsunami and the safe places to evacuate to if there is a long or strong earthquake.

The lines – one on Dundas Street, the other on Blackhead Road - were unveiled and blessed by Anthony Tipene-Matua last Friday.

HBCDEM Community Engagement Team Leader Jae Whelan says the Blue Lines are an effective public education tool that, alongside the other tsunami signage in the area, will help keep the community safe. 

Central Hawke’s Bay Mayor Alex Walker attended the blessing and said it was significant that Pōrangahau was the first area in the region to utilise Blue Lines. 

She said resilience runs deep in the Pōrangahau community, strengthened by a long history living along and near the coastline.
