9月9号政府最新更新: 9:51am: New Zealand agencies involved inpromoting earthquake safety are concerned that advice from a source discredited overseas is being circulated by email in New Zealand.
Civil Defence, the NZ Society for Earthquake Engineering, the Earthquake Commission (EQC) and GNS Science have spoken out against the email, sometimes known as the "triangle of life". They have done so because the email discourages people from taking what is usually the safest option i.e. covering under desks or in doorways.
They say when an earthquake starts, the best advice is still to"drop, cover and hold". Read more advice on what to do in the event of an earthquake(pdf).
