With the resent volcanic activity from Mt Tongariro on the North Island it is a good time to have a plan in the event that you are caught up in the activities that a nature can cause either directly or indirectly.
Although nature can be unpredictable there are still many plans that can be in place that may make life easier for you/family and loved ones.
There are a number of ways the information will get out there. The main ones being Radio and TV stations.
These will often include conditions of roads and transport around the area.
Social Media like Facebook and Twitter (mobile). Although these can be affected by the availability of mobile towers. You will be able to sign up to the AA, NZGetthru, Civil Defence.
