IMPORTANT NOTICE

Change to Wellington Regional Emergency Management Office (WREMO) notification of emergencies

WREMO has changed the way it notifies residents of serious emergencies, eg, Earthquake and Tsunami warnings.

Please see instructions below to ensure you continue receive such warnings through your mobile phone.

WREMO has closed its Twitter alert system because people with Vodafone could not receive the alerts.  Instead, WREMO

is promoting the Red Cross Hazard app. 

What is the app?

For more information see the Red Cross Website: Hazard App

Download the app

Go to the Google Play Store or the Apple Play Store.

You can monitor up to five locations and determine what alerts you wish to receive from each location

What alerts will I receive?

WREMO will only issue alerts when there is a threat to life or a significant disruption that could affect the whole

or part of the Wellington region

What to do if you get an emergency alert

Follow the advice in the alert and make sure you are safe.  Then make sure your family, friends, and neighbours

are safe by sharing the information on social media or text.
