Summary
In April 2011 a guideline will be released on how tsunami inundation modelling can be integrated in land use planning. Drafted with participation from Council staff at Gisborne, Environment Waikato, Thames-Coromandel, and Bay of Plenty (and associated territorial authorities), the guideline is based on two key questions: 1. How can tsunami modelling be incorporated into land use planning? 2. What information do planners need from modellers to improve planning and policy for tsunami?
