One helps people find out what’s happening in their communities during and after an emergency. The other helps people prepare before the big one hits.
The two new websites provide reliable information for people across the region.
www.wremo.nz... - provides local information when an emergency happens and is also the corporate site for WREMO.
www.getprepared.nz... - contains everything people across our region need to get prepared before any emergency occurs.
“The two new websites, along with our Facebook page, are our key communications channels for the people of our region. During an emergency we need people to quickly understand what is happening in their area and how it might affect them, so they can make the best decisions for them and their families,” says Bruce Pepperell, Regional Manager at the Wellington Region Emergency Management Office.
“Working with local councils’ communications people, we know that if an earthquake, tsunami or any other emergency happens, the new WREMO website can be updated quickly and easily. This will be a reliable source of information giving people of the region more certainty about what they need to do”.
"People need specific, targeted and correct information they can follow. We need people to follow official warnings, and it’s imperative they use a credible source for disaster information. These new websites, along with our Facebook page, are those credible sources,” says Mr Pepperell.
“Plus by having information to help people get prepared separated from operational information, means we can best meet the needs of both types of users. It gives us flexibility and our region certainty.”
Following extensive feedback after November’s earthquake, the need to provide localised information became a key priority for WREMO.
Last Novembers’ event saw an increase of 76.9% new users come to WREMO’s website for information, particularly to find tsunami evacuation zone information. Over 160,000 people accessed WREMO’s emergency information within the first hour of the 14 November earthquake. By making these two websites mobile friendly means clear information gets out to where it’s needed, when it’s needed.

www.neighbourly.co.nz...
Sadly, this morning the contractors arrived to start work on cutting down the Pohutakawa's on atleast 2 HNZ properties -they will be finished within 2 days - mostly likely today going by the speed the contractors are working at.
HNZ have ignored any suggestions/options to retain the trees. I believe the solution would be to (for the trees within the yards).. thin out and cut down the trees half way - which solves the problem of hazards to the house, allows sunlight into the yard and also improves visibility towards the public footpath -while still avoiding removing the trees completely.
Of course, future maintenance will be required as with any aspect of the properties - but HNZ have opted to remove the trees to avoid future maintenance costs (how can residents argue with that point I wonder?)at the expense of the trees and the benefits they provide both aesthetically and practically.
Speaking to the contractors they advised HNZ had 2 choices - to thin out/trim down the trees or cut them down completely - HNZ opted to remove them completely.
According to their response below they wont do this and have opted to cut down the trees completely simply to avoid ongoing costs to maintain the trees and i disagree with erosion not occurring but regardless these trees have been unmaintained for atleast 20 years - which has allowed them to grow to this height. So maintenance on the trees would be minimal compared to work required on other aspects of the tenancy. From what I've seen this morning the contractors have cut down the trees outside the fence line on the bank (still on HNZ property) sloping towards the public footpath where erosion will occur the most.
This is the response received from HNZ in reply to my initial query in June about the trees ..
HNZ have advised they are going to be removing in full the trees within Housing NZ boundary line however we will not be completing any work to the trees that fall outside of the boundary line. HNZ have advised that they have made the decision to reduce the density of trees in this area in order to increase visibility for both practical sunlight purposes as well as safety reasons for the Housing NZ properties. Additionally, HNZ have made the decision to remove the trees in full as it is a more costly use of our resources as it would be unreasonable to expect tenants to maintain such large trees, therefore it would be place an on-going dependence on Housing NZ to maintain the trees to a reasonable height.
DDahya note: By the way, any trees outside the boundary line are not HNZ's responsibility. I was under the impression that the trees outside the fence line(still on HNZ property) would be untouched - but HNZ did say trees outside the boundary wouldn't be cut down.
