After an earthquake near the Loyalty Islands last Friday, a tsunami warning sparked sleepless nights in coastal areas around Aotearoa as residents waited for the potential waves.  

While the damage was limited, one Ahipara resident told the NZ Herald the resulting swells were “much, much worse” than those that came in after Cyclone Gabrielle earlier this year. 

It again raises the question about how prepared our coastal country is for a potential tsunami. 

To explain the science of tsunamis and what we need to know about them, today on The Front Page, Damien speaks to Jose Borrero, a tsunami expert and director of eCoast Marine Consulting and Research.
