Know Your Home
We may be a little paranoid, but we were living in Blenheim when the Kaikoura quake hit, but in case of any emergency that may involve water go and find out where your toby (the tap that turns the mains water off) is. Check it works. It is of no use what so ever in an emergency if you cannot isolate your water supply. With the competitiveness of building it seems like the old standbys of floor wastes and isolation valves are usually not installed so your home will flood if you cannot locate some way to turn off the pressurized water from the Council feeds. Do your "homework", be prepared.
Whilst you are on maintenance, check your guttering for leaves and your down pipes for blockages, these can be catastrophic in heavy raid, and can be out for your insurance firm. "Due Care" is in your hands....
