Dear Christchurch City Council,

Dear Sir/Madam,

Re: Official Information Act Request - Tsunami Siren Locations

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request information under the Official Information Act 1982 regarding the locations of all tsunami sirens within the governing area of the Christchurch City Council.

I am seeking detailed information, including but not limited to:

A comprehensive list of all locations where tsunami sirens are currently installed within the Christchurch City Council's jurisdiction.

The technical specifications and capabilities of each tsunami siren, including make, model, and any relevant contact details for maintenance or emergencies.

Any recent maintenance records or reports related to the tsunami sirens within the specified area and if there are any new planned locations for new installations

A map or set of maps indicating the precise locations of each tsunami siren within the Christchurch City Council's governing area.

I understand that some of this information may be sensitive, and I assure you that I will use it for the sole purpose of increasing public awareness and ensuring the safety of the community in the event of a tsunami. I am particularly interested in obtaining this information to facilitate community preparedness and to assist in the dissemination of accurate information during emergencies.

Please provide the requested information within the statutory time frame of 20 working days, as stipulated by the Official Information Act 1982.

Dear Official Information,
Dear Sir/Madam,

I trust this message finds you well. I am writing to formally request information under the Official Information Act 1982 regarding the locations of tsunami sirens within the jurisdiction of the Christchurch City Council.

I have become aware, through public discussions and an article about the installation of additional tsunami siren units, that the current locations of existing sirens in coastal suburbs are not publicly available. My interest in obtaining this information stems from a genuine concern for community safety and preparedness.

Specifically, I am seeking:

A comprehensive list detailing the current locations of all existing tsunami sirens within the Timaru District Council's jurisdiction, particularly those in coastal suburbs.

Any plans or information related to the installation of additional tsunami siren units, as mentioned in recent articles.

Given the scattered nature of these installations and the lack of public documentation on their locations, I believe that having access to this information will significantly contribute to community awareness and preparedness.

I understand the sensitive nature of such details, and I assure you that my intention is solely to foster public safety and awareness. The acquired information will be utilized responsibly to benefit the community, especially in light of the proposed expansion of the tsunami siren network.

I kindly request that the provided information includes sufficient details such as addresses or geographic coordinates to enable effective dissemination of this critical information to the public.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Hatchett
