While you may have known about this event, you may not have known that a number of those who lost their homes in Hawkes Bay were evacuated to Waikanae and stayed in unoccupied beach houses. Local families provided food and helped in various ways. In Chris Maclean's book "Waikanae" there is a description of the significant help provided by Waikanae families. This included providing food, and other basic support. The local families helped in numerous ways including taking people to Wellington to visit dentists or to get new glasses.
I am wondering if we should be organising somehow similar.
a) Maybe B & B houses can be made available for free?
b) Maybe you have some spare rooms available in your house that you can share.
c) Maybe there is a way some of the empty batches can be offered to families.
d) Maybe there is a way to contact the owners of beach houses who live in Wellington to offer help..
If anyone in Waikanae knows how this could be organised I am sure there are Welfare centres in Hawkes bay that could organise t their end and someone in the Kapiti area could be organised this part of the response.
Hi 👋, does anyone have a truck with a trailer or trailer and wouldn’t mind picking up an old couch for the tip? It was supposed to have been collected, then it was vandalised and now I’m stuck with it as I have no tow bar.
Obviously I’m happy to pay for your time, the help and the tip … View moreHi 👋, does anyone have a truck with a trailer or trailer and wouldn’t mind picking up an old couch for the tip? It was supposed to have been collected, then it was vandalised and now I’m stuck with it as I have no tow bar.

Since the disaster is so far from our region and many communities are experiencing roading issues and isolation, the official advice is that physical supplies are not recommended at this point.

Ngā mihi to everyone who helped keep all beach users safe during this period.
Please continue riding your horses in a safe and careful manner below the high-tide mark, and away from ecological sites such as dunes and estuaries. We also ask people using surfcasters, kontiki, kite, drone and other longline fishing gear to make sure your equipment is always monitored and visible to other beach users.
Summer zones for dogs remain in place until the end of daylight saving (2 April 2023). For more information on summer zones and how we can all look after our local beaches, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

While councils, emergency services and Civil Defence have plans in place to respond, in a major emergency these services will be stretched and may not be able to get to every issue immediately. Your Community Emergency Hub is opened and run by people like you, using the skills and resources you already have – together, we can get through a disaster.
For more information on how you and your whānau can be prepared, check in with our friends at Wellington Region Emergency Management Office and visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz... for more information.
