In the event of an emergency where power has been lost and mobile phone and internet communications are down then the best source of communications will come from the radio.

Both national radio stations and local radio stations will be integral in getting the information that you need to know what is happening and to help guide you through the situation.

The Get Ready website advises people to tune into the following radio station and frequencies during an emergency:

• Radio New Zealand - 99.1FM, 101FM, 101.5FM and 567AM
• The Hits - 89.5FM, 90.3FM and 97.8FM
• Newstalk ZB - 90.3FM, 100.2FM, 103.9FM and 1278AM
• MoreFM - 88.7FM, 92.2FM and 89.5-105.9FM

In addition to the national stations, we have a host of local radio stations that will provide localised information to you and we recommend you tune into these stations and frequencies:

• Radio Dannevirke, 107FM +livestream: www.radiodannevirke.co.nz
