Weather Warning

Denise Lee MP

Hi neighbours,

Vector has released a weather warning with possible widespread power cuts and strong winds in the next 24-36hrs.

Please all remember to keep safe and vigilant! If you experience a power cut you can monitor the restoration progress here:
vector.co.nz/outages.

Steps you can take to be prepared:
- Always stay away from fallen power lines or damaged electrical equipment.

- Watch out for falling tree branches as these can cause damage to power lines.

- Avoid possible damage to electrical appliances (in the unlikely event there is a power surge when the power is restored) by switching off appliances at the wall.

- Keep a torch and spare batteries handy and ensure that you have at least one telephone that does not rely on electricity for operation.

- Ensure that an alternate fuel is always available for cooking (e.g. gas for BBQ). If you have an electric garage door, prepare how you can gain entry to the garage another way so you have access to your vehicle.

- Tie down objects on your property that may be impacted by strong winds (ie: trampolines, BBQs and BBQ covers).

- If you are on tank water please ensure you have plenty of bottled water available.

- If life or property is at risk, call 111.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
