Although we missed the worst of the weather, some parts of our region have been affected, so I hope everyone has dried out now. In an emergency, we need to support our neighbours, and the Marlborough Emergency Response Team (all volunteers) have just spent a couple of days supporting the Nelson and Tasman regions. Here’s some of the team kitted out and ready to go, just before they left on Wednesday afternoon.
Here are some useful links to help you prepare for an emergency:

Thanks to the 2600 of you who completed our Sunday Star-Times/Neighbourly poll on NZ's changing attitudes to meat and veges. We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.

We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals our most loyal meat-eaters are in farming provinces like Southland, Manawatu-Wanganui and Taranaki, where nearly two-thirds of us eat meat most days. By comparison, fewer than half of respondents in Wellington, Auckland and Northland eat that much meat. More than a third of Aucklanders and Cantabrians say they are reducing their meat consumption; another 13 per cent have already cut it from their diets entirely.
>> So here's a question: should city-dwellers be supporting our farmers better, given they're still the backbone of our economy? Or do farmers and the rest of us need to be working together to find new solutions - new premium meats, new meat alternatives - to reflect reducing meat consumption around the world?
