Reply to Earthquake
Just saying that by now we would have heard it all over the news. I have to say this is the first real earthquake that I've felt in Hamilton in 45 years other than the sudden jolt or rumble of tea cups. I feel quite unequipped to deal with an earthquake in terms of where to go (Civil Defence) how to help and what to take with me. So I'm going to make it my business to find out and become more equipped for a disaster. Starting with my Community centre.
Poll: Do you think Waikato needs an agency to grow its economy?
Waikato may be getting a new ‘go-to’ body for building the region’s economy.
The previous economic development agency, Te Waka, shut down earlier this year, saying the “passionate advocates” no longer had the resources to do what they’d planned.
