When the Siren Goes

Introduction

“It does us a power of good to remind ourselves that we live on two volcanic rocks where two tectonic plates meet, in a somewhat lonely stretch of windswept ocean just above the Roaring Forties. If you want drama - you've come to the right place“

Former Prime Minister Sir Geoffrey Palmer

When the Siren Goes is a six-part documentary series exploring a range of themes about disaster awareness through an examination of the different natural disasters which have occurred in New Zealand’s history: earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, snowstorms, and floods.
