From Checkpoint, 5:25 pm today

Recovery efforts are back underway at the site of the fatal Mount Maunganui slip after they were earlier suspended when more land movement was detected. One of the six people missing has now been formally identified. A child and grandmother were also killed when a landslip hit a house in Papamoa during last weeks severe weather. The tragedies have renewed focus on the risks of land movement, so how aware are New Zealanders of the hazards they pose and what are the warning signs? Lauren Vinnell, a senior lecturer at Massey University's Joint Centre for Disaster Research, spoke to Lisa Owen.
