Here at Neighbourhood Support we know first hand that communities that stay connected and prepared fare better in emergencies and natural disasters than those without a plan.

For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training and stocking up on essentials to putting together a grab n’ go bag or working with your neighbours to create a neighbourhood resillience plan, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you and your community can get through any situation. Joining or setting up a Neighbourhood Support group is a great way to keep in touch and work together to reach out, look out and help out one another no matter what life may bring.

Don’t forget! This month also coincides with New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, which will be taking place on Thursday, October 28th at 9:30am.

Let us know how you’re getting prepared this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

Our homes can be our greatest investment and protecting our homes against climate change has become more important than ever.

Our changing climate poses risks to our natural and built environments. Swiss Re in a global analysis of insurance risk said to “expect climate risks to raise global property premiums by 33-41% between 2020 and 2040”. The potential increase was deemed a direct consequence of our changing climate.

Our Climate Insights property report provides easily understood information on change to risks for your current or a future property. The report includes robust and actionable information for residential property owners, tenants and investors to enhance their property’s climate resilience.

A Fijian dance leader is attempting to break a Guinness World Record from his west Auckland home.

Heritage choreographer and artist Alipate Traill will host a livestreamed meke performance on October 4.

Meke is a traditional style of dance from Fiji, and Traill is trying to lead the biggest meke performance ever attempted for Fijian Language Week.

Up to 100 Zoom accounts will be able to join a livestream at 6pm for a practice session before the record-attempting performance begins at 7pm.

Traill said preserving Fijian history and culture with youth is a passion of his.

“Modern day Fijian kids in the urban centres of Fiji are experiencing a major loss of culture,” he said.

“I hope to inspire them to turn it around and take action as they are there in the motherland where cultural knowledge and resources are abundant.”

Hi neighbours,

Sir John Key’s recent media blitz was full of suggestions for how the Covid-19 response could have been done better. Some have been found to be false (such as his claim we could have paid Pfizer for preferential supply), and some seem to have lit a fire under the Government to get things moving (such as the suggestion of home quarantining).
