Red Cross Good & Ready Week Disaster Preparation

Brigitte from Remuera

New Zealand Red Cross
Hi everyone,
I'm Brigitte, community activator for the Auckland Red Cross. Last week was Good and Ready Week and New Zealand Red Cross is encouraging everyone to get involved and be prepared in case a disaster strikes 💪

Download the FREE New Zealand Red Cross Hazard app to help you and your family prepare for and help you get through emergencies in New Zealand.

It provides life-saving information before, during and after emergencies, sending official warnings and alerts, and providing step-by-step guides to help households get ready for emergencies 🚨

Preloaded content provides instant access to all preparedness information, even without cell phone reception or an internet connection

Being prepared for a disaster reduces our vulnerability and helps save lives. Get to know your neighbours and your community. Remember your neighbour could be your first responder in an emergency.

Red Cross aims to be NZ’s primary partner in Preparation, Response & Recovery in disasters.
Ask yourself:
“Is my household Good and Ready in case of earthquake, fire, flood or other disaster?”

Find out more to get alerts for your local area:
www.redcross.org.nz...
or download the App 👉 fal.cn...
Feel free to get in touch to hear more about our Good & Ready Program or if you are interested in being a volunteer.
Take care everyone.
Brigitte

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.
