    The PM just told people to be prepared but not for any specific threat

    I imagine the water reservoirs being near empty might be part of it

    I grew up in New Zealand where the risk of earthquakes makes emergency planing like this considered pretty standard, I have continued doing it in the UK since I moved here

      Yeah, if you’re in Wellington, it’s a matter of when not if we have a massive quake and all our infrastructure gets trashed.

      It’s already happened in Christchurch.
