Do you feel well-prepared for a disaster?

Communications from Tauranga City Council

Results from the NZ Civil Defence Annual Disaster Preparedness Survey show only two out of five of us are ready to get through it.

At 9.30am on 27 October 2022 we’re having our national earthquake drill and tsunami hīkoi ShakeOut, which is a great opportunity to practice your drop, cover, hold action during an earthquake.

It’s also a great time to think about making a plan with your whānau to get ready for disaster. To make it easy, visit www.getready.govt.nz... and download a template, also available in te reo Māori and 21 other languages.

Smash and grab

Hayley from Mount Maunganui

Hey does anyone have any home cameras that may have picked up someone smashing my widow outside Cayman apartments between 10pm Wednesday night and 9am Thursday. They obviously were targeting my radar detector.
