We know that when kids are involved in preparing for emergencies and learning about natural hazards, they encourage their families to be more prepared and play a more active role in responding to and recovering from emergencies.
As part of Get Ready Week 2016, we are launching our redeveloped schools resource What’s the Plan, encouraging schools to update their emergency preparedness plans and use the new resource to build resilience as a life skill for their students.
Here are our top tips for Prepared Kids
1. Give the school or day care a list of three people who can pick the kids up if you can’t get there.
2. Talk to your kids in an honest (but not scary) way about what might happen in an emergency, what you can do to keep safe, and what your plan is for if you can’t get home. The more involved they are, the less scared they will be if an emergency does happen.
3. Make a plan with your kids. Sit down together and talk about the things you need every day and work out what you would do if you didn’t have them. Grab a piece of paper and write down what you agree, who you need to contact and things you need to do to get ready.
4. Get your kids involved in getting supplies and checking them regularly. In an emergency you could be stuck at home for three
days or more. You probably have most of these things already, and you don’t have to have them all in one place, but you might have to find them in a hurry and/or in the dark.

We have recently signed contracts with Countdown Porirua and Johnsonville stores to commence rescuing food from them. KCA has been food rescuing from Countdown Tawa over the past 18 months. From the 5th January 2016 to a few days ago we had rescued over 17 tons of food still fit to be eaten but not sold from Countdown Tawa.
We are now into our third year of sponsorship with rescuing food from Foodstuffs North Island. Back in July we received a significant donation of 12 pallets totaling just under 10 tons of tinned tomatoes which we distributed as far as Upper Hutt to Miramar, back through Wellington City and up to Porirua.
KCA also rescues food from Rosa Foods, Johnsonville School Markets, Bidvest, Whittaker's to name a few companies.
We would like to thank local businesses such as Dobbins Office Furniture, Kris Faafoi's electoral office, PGG Wrightson in Porirua who are drop off points for our donors to leave items in our donation bin. Thanks to all our donors who use these drop off points to give to us generously.
Last month KCA and The Salvation Army Porirua signed a Memorandum of Understanding. This allows us to distribute fresh and frozen food stocks to 3 out of the 4 foodbanks in the Porirua region.
We continue to support local schools such as Tawa Intermediate School, Linden School, HHT School, Holy Family School, Natone Park School, Hutt Valley Activity Centre, Porirua Activity Centre and 2-3 schools through Arise Church by providing food for their students to eat on the school grounds.
Thanks to the 1 off donation of 1.4 tons of permissions donated to us by Community Fruit Hamilton and to Linfox for delivering it to us free of charge to our depot in Grenada North.
Thanks to the local Tawa businesses - Tawa Storage Solutions and Tawa Community Centre for allowing us to have donation bins/area on their premises for you to leave your donations for us to collect.
We would like to thank businesses such as Allied Work Force up in Auckland for their donation of brand new high vis wet weather gear which we distributed to residents who were homeless.
Thanks to Tasman Bay Manufacturing in Nelson who donated us 330kgs of butter chicken sauce and shipped it up to Wellington for us free of charge.
Thanks to Grace Removals for donating us $1,000 to purchase new scales so that we can weigh all the donated stock to write reports to the many companies who contribute to us.
Thanks to Arrows Uniforms for starting to donate all of their surplus end of lines brand new clothing to us so that we can pass them on to others for free.
There are lots of other people that I could list to thank but then I'd be writing a novel SO THANK YOU to everyone - donors, financial contributors, corporate volunteer teams from Chep, Chorus, ACC, Kiwibank, Westpac, BNZ who have sent multiple teams to assist us. Thanks to our dedicated team of volunteers (74 in total) who work a combined total hours of 140hours a week to ensure that we can assist as many people as possible.
