Another Guy Fawkes rolls around and once again i am dreading it. Every year thousands of animals are injured after being panicked by fireworks. Thousands more are not physically harmed but left traumatized by the noise. Many react as if they are about to be shot. They are terrified.

Thousands more are not physically harmed but left traumatized by the noise. Many react as if they are about to be shot. They are terrified.
Please do not let fireworks off in open spaces where horses, sheep or other animals are grazing. Spare a thought also for your neighbours who may have a horse grazing next door, or back yard chickens who are equally terrified of fireworks. Make sure your cats and dogs are safely inside, and if you can, let your neighbours know when you are setting off fireworks so they can put their pets inside too.

Tsunamis can be deadly, but they don't have to be – early action is our best tool to protect our community, saving lives, and avoiding the hazard becoming a disaster.
The number one rule if you're in a tsunami zone is, in an earthquake, long OR strong, get gone – don't wait for official warnings.
Check your zones on our evacuation zone finder at maps.kapiticoast.govt.nz... – type in the addresses of the places you regularly go to see what zone they're in.
A lovely pic from Louise Thomas.
