*At 6:00 PM NZST, The News Would Make a Headline About the Situation*

Breaking News Large amounts of sulfuric gases have been reported within the Makara Hills, affecting parts of the South Island. This event follows the recent Lower Hutt and Porirua sulphur fields disaster, but is significantly larger in scale. A huge rift of lava has also appeared within Makara, puzzling geologists and scientists, as Wellington is not typically known for such volcanic activity. A large rift emitting sulfuric gases and lava has formed in the Makara Hills, leading to serious health concerns and environmental hazards. Thousands of residents have evacuated to safer areas, including Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt, Picton, Lake Grassmere, Kaikoura, and Nelson. Christchurch is currently housing the most refugees from this sudden event. While some speculated that this could signal an eruption from Lake Taupo or Lake Rotorua, scientists have confirmed no volcanic activity in these lakes. The rift has been attributed to a sudden change in the North Island Fault Line. The sulfuric gases pose significant health risks, particularly respiratory issues. Residents in affected areas are advised to wear masks and avoid inhaling the gases. Authorities have warned against drinking water from potentially contaminated sources such as Porirua Harbour, Wellington Harbour, Wairau River, Lake Rotorua, and the Waihopai River. Support for Emergency services are providing support to evacuees, ensuring they have access to safe shelters, food, and medical care. Geologists and scientists are actively studying the rift and its implications. Continuous monitoring of the fault line and volcanic activity in the region is underway to provide timely updates and ensure public safety. Residents in the affected areas are urged to stay informed, follow safety guidelines, and cooperate with emergency services. The situation is being closely monitored, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Stay with us  for the latest updates on this developing story. On other news—

*At the 7th of February 4:53PM, A Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake Strikes Mount Victoria*

*Civil Defence Warning*

We’re sorry for interrupting your scheduled programming for this urgent emergency announcement.

All radio stations in the Region of Wellington have been shut down in order for this message to be broadcasted. All TVs, Radios and Phones Should be airing this Broadcast. This message has been issued by Geonet and GNS Science. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THIS IS AN EARTHQUAKE WARNING.

A magnitude 4.8 earthquake has struck the city of Wellington, specifically near Mount Victoria. This Earthquake has been speculated to be caused by the North Island faultline as this is the most likely cause. Residents of Mount Victoria, Oriental Bay, Roseneath, Hataitai, Wellington Central and Te Aro are advised to listen further to instructions. Remain calm and reassure those around you. Panic can exacerbate the situation. If you are indoors, drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops. If you are outside, move to an open area away from buildings, trees, streetlights, and utility wires. Check yourself and others for injuries after the shaking stops. Administer first aid if necessary, but avoid moving seriously injured individuals unless they are in immediate danger. Assess your surroundings for any damage to buildings, utilities, or infrastructure. Be cautious of hazards such as broken glass, fallen objects, and structural damage. Stay tuned to emergency broadcasts for updates and instructions from local authorities. Follow their guidance regarding evacuation, sheltering, and safety precautions. Be prepared for aftershocks, which can occur in the hours or days following the initial earthquake. Drop, cover, and hold on during aftershocks, and be aware that they may cause additional damage or injuries. Offer assistance to those who may need help, but prioritise your own safety. Check on neighbours, especially the elderly, disabled, or those with special needs. Avoid overloading communication networks by limiting non-essential phone calls and text messages. Use text messaging or social media to communicate with family and friends, as these methods may be more reliable during emergencies. Follow designated evacuation routes if instructed to evacuate. Take essential items such as medications, identification, and emergency supplies with you. Remember to stay informed, stay safe, and stay connected with emergency services and community resources. A small Tsunami has also been generated by the earthquake that’ll affect the entire Wellington Harbour Soon. Residents of the Suburbs of Kilbirne, Miramar, Pipitea, Karaka Bays, Breaker Bay, Moa Point, Lyall Bay, Rongotai, Ngauranga, Eastborne, Days Bay, Lowry Bay, York Bay, Sorrento Bay, Petone, Seaview, Point Howard, Mahina Bay, Oriental Bay, Roseneath and Hataitai are advised to listen to further instructions. Evacuate to higher ground away from the coast immediately. Tsunamis can cause rapid flooding and pose a significant threat to coastal areas. Do not wait for official instructions to evacuate if you are in a tsunami evacuation zone. Use designated evacuation routes to reach higher ground. Avoid low-lying areas, coastal roads, and areas prone to flooding. Take essential items such as medications, identification, and emergency supplies with you. Prepare to be away from your home for an extended period of time if necessary. Listen to emergency broadcasts for updates and instructions from local authorities. Follow their guidance regarding evacuation procedures, shelter locations, and safety precautions. Offer assistance to those who may need help evacuating, especially the elderly, disabled, or those with special needs. Work together with neighbours and community members to ensure everyone's safety. Avoid returning to coastal areas until authorities deem it safe to do so. Tsunami waves can cause multiple surges and continue for several hours after the initial wave. Be aware that aftershocks may follow the initial earthquake and tsunami. Drop, cover, and hold on during aftershocks, and remain vigilant for any additional hazards. Remain calm and follow instructions from emergency services. Panicking can impede your ability to make safe decisions and respond effectively to the situation. Stay connected with emergency services and community resources for updates on the situation. Prioritise your safety and the safety of your loved ones above all else. Take necessary precautions to protect yourself from harm and follow instructions from authorities without delay.

*At Around 5:40 PM, Geonet would make a shocking discovery*

Geo R1: Hey, You know how sulfuric gases have been affecting Makara, Lower Hutt and Porirua right?

Geo R2: Yeah, What About it?

Geo R1: Well, many people have reported with what seems to be steam from Makaro Island and Barrett Reef, with a few reports about steam from Somes Island.

Geo R2: Wait, What?

Geo R1: Yeah, it's bizarre. We've been monitoring the situation closely, and it seems like there's some sort of geothermal activity occurring on the islands. It could be related to the recent seismic activity and the formation of the rift in West Makara.

Geo R2: That's concerning. If there's significant geothermal activity, it could indicate potential volcanic activity in the area, right?

Geo R1: Exactly. We need to investigate further to understand the extent of the activity and assess any potential risks to the surrounding areas. It's crucial to keep the public informed and ensure their safety.

Geo R2: Agreed. Let's gather more data and coordinate with other agencies to respond effectively to this new development. We can't afford to overlook any potential threats to the community.

Geo R1: Absolutely. I'll alert the relevant authorities and continue monitoring the situation. We need to act swiftly and decisively to protect the residents of Wellington and surrounding areas.

*At 6:43 PM, Geonet Discovered Something Shocking…*

Geo R1: OMG Bro, You need to look at this.

Geo R2: What is it?

Geo R1: We’ve just discovered a large magma chamber underneath Wellington.

Geo R2: Wait, What?

Geo R1: Yeah, it's shocking. The discovery of a large magma chamber beneath Wellington changes everything. It likely explains the recent seismic activity, including the sulfuric fields and the Mount Victoria earthquake.

Geo R2: That's a major revelation. So, volcanic activity has been detected in multiple locations across the region?

Geo R1: Exactly. Mount Victoria, Makaro Island, Mount Albert, Barrett Reef, East Harbor Ridges, Somes Island, Battle Hill, West Makara, Mana Island, and several other areas have shown signs of volcanic activity. This indicates a widespread volcanic threat that we need to address immediately.

Geo R2: We need to act fast to assess the situation and implement measures to protect the public. Evacuations, emergency preparedness, and communication with affected communities are all critical at this time.

Geo R1: Agreed. We'll need to coordinate with local authorities, emergency services, and scientific experts to develop a comprehensive response plan. The safety of residents in Wellington and surrounding areas is our top priority.

Geo R2: I’ll stage a conference meeting at GNS Science at Lower Hutt to discuss the situation.

This message has been issued by Geonet and GNS Science. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THIS IS A VOLCANIC UNREST  WARNING. 

Large amounts of volcanic activity has been detected underneath multiple different areas of the Wellington Region. This has been the most likely cause of the sulfuric gases and Makara rift disasters that have also impacted Wellington recently. All residents of Porirua, Wellington, Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt, Judgeford, Moonshine Valley, Wainuiomata Coast and Pauatahanui are advised to listen to further instructions. While volcanic activity is common in NZ, Volcanic activity under Wellington is unnormal and is currently being observed by Scientist and Geologist Alike. Mount Victoria, Makaro Island, West Makara and East Harbor Ridges are some examples of places with extreme volcanic activity underneath. 23 other sites have been confirmed by GNS Science and Geonet to have Volcanic Activity Underneath them. It is crucial that you remain calm and vigilant during this time. Please refrain from panicking or spreading unverified information. Stay indoors if possible and keep all windows and doors closed to minimise exposure to any potential volcanic gases. Prepare an emergency kit with essential supplies such as water, non-perishable food, medications, and first aid supplies. Keep a battery-powered radio handy for updates in case of power outages. If you must travel, exercise extreme caution and avoid areas identified as high-risk zones by local authorities. Stay connected with friends, family, and neighbours to ensure everyone's safety. Follow the guidance of emergency services and local authorities without hesitation. Remember to assist those who may require special assistance, such as the elderly, children, or individuals with disabilities. While no cause of the magma chambers formation has been concluded, geologists are currently keeping track of volcanic activity around the region. Residents of the Wairarapa region are also advised to stay wary as the volcanic unrest may affect your area. Furthermore, residents are advised not to return to their homes until authorities deem it safe to do so.

*Conference Meeting At GNS Science Lower Hutt…*

Hello, I’d like to thank you all for attending this conference meeting this afternoon. As you know, sulfuric gases have appeared in Lower Hutt, Porirua and Makara, but that was long ago. I mainly want to talk about the scarily high Seismic and Volcanic activity around Wellington, Porirua and the Hutt Valley. Recently, a magnitude 4.9 earthquake struck Mount Victoria, which is quite unusual for wellington. But this has been proven to be caused by a new magma chamber underneath Wellington. While Makara has been dealt with, the other sites we have no current info of about how they are also being affected. As well as that, multiple earthquakes have also struck Somes Island, Naenae and Tahiti Bay. While volcanic unrest has been spotted under 23 different sites, none of these sites besides Makara have been proven to have any connection to the Wellington chamber. This new chamber has also disrupted the Petone aquafat, which has now entirely dried up. I’d also like to mention that th- *Distant Explosion*- Wait, what the heck was that? *Shockwave hits the area* AUDIO NOT AVAILABLE

*CD Warning*

We’re sorry for interrupting your scheduled programming for this urgent emergency announcement.

All radio stations within the entire nation have been shut down in order for this message to be broadcasted. All TVs, Radios and Phones Should be airing this Broadcast. This message has been issued by Geonet and GNS Science. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THIS IS A VOLCANIC ERUPTION WARNING. 

At 12:34 AM NZST, a major volcanic eruption occurred in the Upper Hutt area. This eruption has been measured as a VEI 7 on the volcanic explosivity index. An eruption like this is quite rare, and is comparable to the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora. It is likely that the eruption will affect the entire nation and possibly, the entire globe. Residents within a 50-kilometre radius of Upper Hutt, including areas such as Lower Hutt, Wellington, Wairarapa, Porirua, and Kapiti, must evacuate immediately. Pyroclastic flows, lahars, and extensive ashfall are expected. Residents across New Zealand should prepare for heavy ashfall. Stay indoors, close all windows and doors, and seal any gaps. Wear masks and goggles if you must go outside to protect your respiratory system and eyes. Roads may be blocked or dangerous due to ash and debris. Avoid non-essential travel and follow evacuation routes as directed by local authorities. Airports are closed, and all flights are grounded. Gather essential items such as medications, important documents, food, water, and emergency supplies. Be prepared for potential power outages and disruptions to water Do not drink water from lakes, rivers, or reservoirs as the ash can contaminate the water supply. Use bottled or uncontaminated water. If you experience difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately. Stay informed through battery-powered radios and official news channels for updates and further instructions. Mobile networks may become overloaded or disrupted.  The eruption is likely to have significant effects on the climate, potentially leading to a temporary cooling of the global climate due to the release of ash and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. Ashfall can damage crops and livestock, leading to potential food shortages. Authorities are working on contingency plans to provide food and water supplies. Expect significant disruptions to transportation, commerce, and daily life. The government is mobilizing resources to support affected communities and maintain essential services. Emergency services are being deployed to assist with evacuation efforts and provide support to affected communities. Follow their instructions and do not return to your homes until authorities deem it safe. Refugee camps are being set up in safer regions, including Palmerston North, Whanganui, Dannivirke, Napier, Hastings, Feilding, Bulls, Nelson, Blenheim, Richmond, Motueka, Tapawera, Wairau Valley, Mapua, Seddon, and Kaiteriteri. If you are displaced, proceed to the nearest camp for shelter and assistance. Furthermore, residents are advised not to return to their homes until authorities deem it safe to do so. Emergency services are mobilising to assist with evacuation efforts and provide support to affected communities.

*Australian EAS Warning*

We’re sorry for interrupting your scheduled programming for this urgent emergency announcement.

All radio stations within the states of Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and New South Wales have been shut down in order for this message to be broadcasted. All Devices Should be airing this Broadcast. This message has been issued by the Australian Coastguard. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THIS IS A TSUNAMI WARNING.

A series of tsunamis have been triggered by the recent VEI 7 volcanic eruption in New Zealand. These tsunamis are expected to make landfall on the eastern coast of Australia imminently. Residents in coastal areas are urged to evacuate to higher ground immediately. The tsunamis pose a severe threat to life and property. Evacuate immediately if you are in a coastal area. Waste no time gathering personal belongings. The priority is to ensure your immediate safety. Leave your home and head towards designated evacuation routes. Move to higher ground or inland as quickly as possible. Seek out the highest points available in your vicinity. If you are in a vehicle, drive towards inland areas that are above sea level. Walking or biking can be quicker in congested traffic conditions. Do not return to your homes until authorities have declared it safe. The aftermath of a tsunami can be extremely hazardous, with risks of secondary waves, flooding, and structural damage. Await clear communication from emergency officials before attempting to return. Follow all instructions from local emergency services and authorities. Pay close attention to emergency broadcasts on radio, television, or through mobile alerts. Adhere strictly to the directions given by emergency personnel and local law enforcement. Avoid using the phone unless it is an emergency to keep lines clear for critical communication. Emergency services need to maintain clear lines of communication. Use text messages or social media to let loved ones know you are safe if possible. Wear masks and protective eyewear to guard against ashfall. The eruption has caused significant ash to enter the atmosphere, which can harm your respiratory system and eyes. Ensure you are adequately protected if you must go outside. Prepare an emergency kit with essential supplies. Include items such as water, non-perishable food, medications, important documents, flashlights, batteries, and first aid supplies. Have this kit ready to go at a moment's notice. Stay indoors if you are not in an evacuation zone but are affected by ashfall. Close all windows and doors to prevent ash from entering your home. Use an air purifier if available, and keep all air vents and fans off. Be aware of potential aftershocks and secondary hazards. The volcanic activity may result in aftershocks or additional volcanic events. Stay informed through official channels and be prepared to act quickly if new dangers arise. Assist neighbours and those who may need help evacuating. If you are able, check on elderly neighbours or those with mobility issues. Help them reach evacuation points safely. Emergency services are being mobilised to assist with evacuation efforts and to provide support to affected communities. Ash from the erupting volcano is expected to stay in the upper atmosphere for at least 1 and a half years. Please remain calm, stay vigilant, and prioritise your safety and that of your loved ones. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available. This has been an official warning from the Australian Government. Stay safe and heed all warnings.
