During the initial development of the Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group (CDEM) Plan, the risk associated with tsunami was considered high enough to allocate a ranking within the regional hazardscape of 1st place for a locally generated tsunami and 6th for a far-field generated tsunami . Prior to this both Environment Waikato and Environment Bay of Plenty recognised that the threat of tsunami may have been greater than traditionally thought, asking NIWA and associates to undertake research on the eastern coastline of the North Island.
