Minor eruption: Whakaari White island

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Volcanic Alert Level on Whakaari White Island has been increased to 3.

What you need to know:
- The alert level at Whakaari White Island has been increased after a small eruption.
- Minor volcanic eruption was seen by a vigorous steam plume above the island on Friday morning at 8.20am.
- There are no sensors on the island, so Geonet relies on webcams and satellite imagery to assess the situation.
- GeoNet shared: “Based on our limited information there were no clear indications of ash in the plume and if there was it would be unlikely to reach the mainland under current wind conditions.”

The steam plume above the island had since reverted to more normal levels.

Kia ora Koutou, Katoa, Hi Everyone


Happy New Year !!!

We are looking for people who could be available to help to paint over the Graffiti on 'The roof' currently situated in Ngongotaha at a temporary location.

We have special paint (High Opacity Stain Blocker)
that will cover the tagging and prevent it bleeding through to the new top coat. We have rollers.

Has anyone got scaffolding that we could use please?

Please email progressngongotaha@gmail.com
or phone 07 3574565 or 022 1404391
If you can help us.

Your help will be very much appreciated

Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.

What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
