    A 7.4 magnitude earthquake has struck off Vanuatu's coast - at 2.47pm - about 10 kilometres deep



    It was followed by magnitude 5.5 quake.

    National Emergency Management Agency and GNS Science are assessing whether it's created a tsunami that could affect New Zealand.

    Any wave would be likely to take at least two hours to reach us.
