There'll be lots of ideas from people like Terry and Sam for your Spring garden now the ground is warming up, and Shane's bikes with engines for getting around in the warming weather (how good is that?!) - and of course our inestimable Andy the Butcher!

Make a day of your visit to Waikanae - catch the train and then lunch at our town centre cafes, a walk down the lovely Waikanae River afterwards -

Rabbits 🐰

Hilary from Paraparaumu Beach

Hi - any suggestions on how to stop a rabbit from digging holes in our garden slope? He is one very determined bunny, eaten through the netting and keeps returning to the same spot several times in the morning to attempt to resume his or hers tunnelling! Any advice please?

Here at Neighbourhood Support we know first hand that communities that stay connected and prepared fare better in emergencies than those without a plan.

For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training to putting together a grab n’ go bag with survival essentials, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you can get through any situation.

This month also coincides with International Day of Disaster Reduction on October 13th and New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, on Thursday, October 17th at 1.30pm.

Let us know how you’re preparing for anything in your home, at work or in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
