HELP NEEDED NOW - North Canterbury
HELP NEEDED NOW? (Please share this)
Update from North Canterbury
I have spoken with Neighbourhood Support North Canterbury this morning. (Monday 21st, 9.50am)
The immediate need in the area is CO-ORDINATION of response
CURRENT STATUS
· Residents are being checked on and needs assessed/addressed
· Schools are reopening / reopened
· Residents who can, have returned home
· Residents that can’t are with friends/family or being put up
· The community kitchen is operating for those that can’t cook meals
· The right supplies are being distributed to where they are needed.
This rural community is demonstrating resilience and resourcefulness and getting on with it. They are capable of communicating their needs and do not appreciate unnecessary intrusion. They are doing well for the current situation.
If you receive a personal request from friends in North Canterbury needing help, great (I know there are lots of people itching to help). If you have specialist skills/knowledge and time you would like to offer, please register this with Hurunui District Council so they can coordinate this 03-314 8816. Otherwise, the best thing we may be a able to do right now is send our love and make sure we have our own house in order.
