Police continues to work on the recovery operation following yesterday’s eruption on Whakaari / White Island.
Today, Police has been working with Defence and Fire and Emergency NZ (FENZ) to determine conditions on the island including gas levels in the atmosphere, so that we can understand the nature of the current conditions.
This will involve the deployment of drones carrying specialist measuring equipment in order to collect and analyse gas levels.
This data and information will inform the next steps we are able to take.
