Auckland Civil Defence's smart phone application that provides early warnings for tsunamis, cyclones and other catastrophes has topped the download charts on the day of its launch, reports OneNews

Auckland Civil Defence Controller Clive Manley said: "We're delighted Aucklanders have embraced the app so quickly. It shows they are absolutely committed to preparing for a potential emergency, ensuring that they're able to stay up-to-date with information and alerts as well as stay in touch with their loved ones."

On 26th September over one million people will participate in a drill to practise the right action to take in case of an earthquake: Drop, Cover and Hold.
