Hi everyone, I've heard official word that we may need to prepare for potential power disruptions this Easter Weekend.

Vector has been keeping a close eye on the weather and there's enough concern for them to continue with preparations, including additional measures to keep crews and customers covid safe.

What this means is that it's possible it could take longer to get power back on if there are outages due to the forecast bad weather.

Vector's asking all Aucklanders to:

✔️ Prepare as you normally would when a storm approaches – tie down trampolines, bring in sun umbrellas, make your area as safe as possible to minimise the chance of emergency call outs - have torches and check batteries, and if on tank water, make sure drinking water is stored.

✔️ Take particular note of items that may fly around the neighbourhood during gale force winds – we don’t want people to break their bubbles to retrieve property.

✔️ Not approach Vector teams for their own safety. Please remember physical distancing of 2m.

✔️ Use Vector's Outage Centre (below link) to monitor restoration progress if power is out:

Since the beginning of the nationwide lockdown, I have received occasional requests from people unable to get groceries and have tried to assist them.

Now there is a much better service. The Student Volunteer Army, which originated in Christchurch after the earthquakes, has swung into action and assembled an excellent service operating out of Remuera New World.

If you need help, you can phone them on 0800 005 902. You can order and pay by debit or credit card and a properly vetted volunteer will deliver your groceries to your door.

And if you’d like to help, you can become a volunteer by visiting the www.sva.org.nz... website.

I have spoken to the SVA organisers and highly recommend this service and volunteer opportunity for our community.

As always, my office and I remain available to provide assistance in dealing with government agencies. You can reach us on 09 522 7464 or at mpepsom@parliament.govt.nz. Please do not hesitate to get in touch.
