Wellington: Testing how far the walk home is if earthquake hits

From Checkpoint, 4:47 pm on 1 March 2024

If a big earthquake hits, do you have a plan for how you would get home?

In Wellington, a big one could take out roads and public transport out of the city.

This afternoon, hundreds of people are testing what it would be like to walk 30 kilometres from Sky Stadium through Porirua to the Ngati Toa domain in Mana.

Reporter Pretoria Gordon joined up with participants of the Long Walk Home and spoke to Lisa Owen.
