While we can’t predict earthquakes, scientific research indicates there is a 75% probability of an Alpine Fault earthquake occurring in the next 50 years, and there is a four out of five chance that it will be a magnitude 8 plus event.
This is likely to have major short and long-term impacts and now there’s an opportunity to hear about the likely impacts of a large Alpine Fault earthquake in our region.
The AF8 Roadshow: The Science Beneath Our Feet, brings Alpine Fault science and hazard impact information to South Island communities, in areas likely to be affected by an Alpine Fault earthquake.
The free roadshow is being hosted by the Nelson Tasman Emergency Management Group. Join them on Tuesday 29 April at 6.30 pm at Waimea College Hall, for a public talk by leading Alpine Fault scientists about the likely hazard impacts of an Alpine Fault earthquake.
The roadshow then moves on to Tapawera Area School on Thursday 1 May at 6.30 pm.
