"There's so much food and stuff gone, but we're alive - that's the main thing," says Kaikoura resident Diane Edkins (pictured) who finds out whether her house is given the all-clear while a Red Cross volunteer is with her: www.redcross.org.nz...

We're backing schools to set up walking buses and other solutions, with parents and volunteers helping local kids get to class safely.
We wrote to the nation's mayors pleading with them to lower speed limits outside schools, and many have come back to us with expressions of support. We talked to well-known New Zealanders with school-aged kids, and they united behind the campaign.
You can get involved too. We know people are busy, so the Sunday Star-Times and Neighbourly are encouraging families to choose one day a week when they and their kids walk, scoot, cycle - even ride a horse if that's what works for you!
I've chosen Mondays as the days I'll cycle to school with my 6-year-old son. And Neighbourly has set up a special pledge page, where you can choose a day when you will try to Foot It with your kids, talk with others doing the same - and go into the draw to win one of 50 Micro scooters. www.neighbourly.co.nz...

This is one of the old fashioned rectangular trampolines. It is in pretty rough condition to be honest. Needs 2 of its legs tacked back on and a good clean up and paint. Once that is done there is nothing wrong with it. Pick up is in Park Road Belmont. We inherited this trampoline and it is time … View moreThis is one of the old fashioned rectangular trampolines. It is in pretty rough condition to be honest. Needs 2 of its legs tacked back on and a good clean up and paint. Once that is done there is nothing wrong with it. Pick up is in Park Road Belmont. We inherited this trampoline and it is time for it to go to someone else, so come and get it. Contact Mike, 021 02722362 to make arrangements.
Flooding by Samuel Marsden College Discovery Drive.
You can drive through Starboard Lane and New Haven Way (acess through Whitby Lakes Retirement Village) as the water is about 3-4 feet deep. Cars only no trucks
Porirua Co-Work at Pember House has been declared safe by engineers, so if you can not use your office because of the earthquake you may like to consider a local option. www.facebook.com...
Water supplied to Wellington, Porirua, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt is safe to drink.

Monday's earthquake stirred up sediment in reservoirs and pipes that caused discolouration of the water - but it is still safe to drink.
We received reports of dirty water from all over the four cities shortly after the earthquake. It should now have settled. However, there may be some places where it hasn't, or where dirty water still needs to be cleared.
If you do have dirty water please call your city council so that we can come out and flush the mains. Once it has been flushed, we'll let you know so that you can flush your inside pipes. The best way to do this is to run an outside tap until it clears. If it hasn't cleared after 15 minutes please contact your city council again. We'll then get in touch to work with you on isolating the problem.
