I am living in Auckland. The eruptions of the Volcano Ruapehu have been televised here (and I think over the world) and triggered my interest in the subject. Rangitoto, Ruapehu and other volcanoes are so close here that I felt that ideally all citizens of this country should be aware of the possibilities and escape mechanisms......however, I have no idea of how to connect up to the NZ Civil defense authorities or even if such enquiries would be welcome at all. Does this bit of information help you tailor your advice for me in any way?

Dear Archana,

I recommend you contact the New Zealand Ministry of Civil Defense.
They have information on personal preparedness. You can also send them messages (and questions).
