Tauranga City Council 75 decibels weak Tsunami warning: The Weekend Sun June 3 2011 revealed the above brief comment.
Imagine an off shore, strong, noisy westerly wind, with a 1km long log train rumbling along over peat swamp Papamoa coast day or night, no 'Street locked in” residents would hear 75 decibels Tsunami warning siren. I have from a reliable expert that 75 decibels of noise is from your motor mower, chainsaw, weed-eater and noisy motorbike persons.
Police, Fire Brigade, ambulance sirens range between 80-150 decibels.
If the elected Councillors cannot understand the importance of the Hawaii High Tone warning system, perhaps the Beehive Civil Defence can be called upon to direct the Tauranga City Council to install this most effective system.
Ray Hoggard, Welcome Bay.

appreciate your comments and concern... I most certainly do! Unfortunately mate thats it!!! TCC or for that matter all other relevant authority could not give a stuff. That is easily verified by the total lack of respect 'The Boss' man mayor,'The Boss' man chairman and ALL their cohorts, along with ALL other LA's, have shown towards 'concerned citizens' like your self. When have you ever seen one .. only one of them via this medium (or any other for that matter) address 'your' concerns?? Tauranga needs more citizens like you. Citizens that go out of their way and MAKE the time in their busy schedule to 'express,voice,raise,seek comment about "THEIR" concerns etc'. Absolute "SHAME" on the politicians ~ ALL the Politicians that treat you like crap and don't respond or address you concerns... Good on you for 'doing', mate -Citizens Monitoring Council-

RAY HOGGARD . Yes you are absolutely correct but you will get nowhere with TCC.Don't worry if and when it turns to custard TCC and Civil Defence will be looking at massive misfeasance litigation if they get it wrong.

Weak kneed sirens that I would not hear of the rugby, the husband nagging about something meaningless. Like hello ... even the noise from Baypark on Race nights is 90db and more and you can not even hear that unless the wind is blowing the right way and there is no train rumbling past ...
