Knowing the right immediate action to take can save lives and prevent injury. If you are near the coast and feel a strong earthquake that makes it hard to stand up, or a rolling earthquake that lasts longer than a minute, move immediately to high ground, or as far inland as possible.
The earthquake is your first warning, tsunami waves can arrive within minutes. Do not wait for official advice or warning systems.
Contact your local civil defence group for tsunami zone maps and plan your route today. www.civildefence.govt.nz...

I am Running the Camp Cooking Base at this years Scout Jamboree and I am needing 3000 empty 220g Watties Baked Beans/Spaghetti Tins (the small tin) so each scout can learn how to make steamed puddings.
I have been in touch with Watties and unfortunately they cannot help me, hence I am asking you.
So if you can help, even if you only have 1-2 tins please get in touch with me so I can sort out collecting them.
Thanks
Heather

We were delighted to raise $1,334 and blessed to be able help our regular recipients of financial aid - Womgel, our sponsored girl in Ethiopia through TEAR Fund, Circuit International's work in Myanmar and a family working in Thailand helping Burmese refugees. The remaining proceeds will go to BARNABAS FUND, an amazing organisation that supports persecuted Christians and their families.
Next month SATURDAY 3 DECEMBER we're hoping to make this community event extra-special with Christmas approaching. Why don't you come along and see why we call this THE GARAGE SALE WITH THE BIG DIFFERENCE?

Leading up to that weekend we'll be letting you know about some of the awesome events and activities happening near you, sharing stories, giving you a little inspiration around how to get your neighbourhood revving to go for Neighbours Day, and for those of us who are a little shy, some helpful tips on how to get started.
Earlier this year we put it to the Neighbours Day community to vote on the best way to launch Neighbours Day 2017. The winning idea was is 'Make it a New Years Resolution', and so that is what we're rolling with. Make getting involved in Neighbours Day your New Year's Resolution.
If you or anyone else signs up for Neighbours Day 2017 between today and the 31st of January you go in a draw to win a $100 grocery voucher. We'll be making 3 draws, one in December, one in January and one in February.
We know there are some of you who are real champions of Neighbours Day Aotearoa, so for those that get the most people joining up we have a little incentive for you too. We've added a section in the join up page where people can mention how they heard about Neighbours Day. This is where all those awesome people you get to join up can pop your name. If you, or your organisation, come out on tops and have the most new members joining up then you will win a $100 grocery voucher as well!!! Whaaattt!! Now that will come in handy either for your awesome Neighbours Day event, or your friendly neighbourly bbq, or will pay for the TimTam's you bring when you have a cup of tea with your neighbours.
So make sure you share the love and spread the word.
