The MetService RED WARNING for HEAVY RAIN for Canterbury is still in place. Officials are urging people to stay home and keep off the roads amid heavy flooding.

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

Floods and flash floods can happen quickly. If you see rising water do not wait for official warnings. Head for higher ground and stay away from floodwater.

DO NOT TRAVEL IN FLOODED AREAS unless absolutely necessary. Never try to walk, swim or drive through flood water. Many flood fatalities are caused by people attempting to drive through water.

If water enters your home, turn off the electricity to avoid short-circuits sparking a fire.

Check on your neighbours and help anyone who might need assistance if it is safe to do so.

If someone’s life, health or property is in danger, call 111.

Addictive Eaters Anonymous

The Team from Addictive Eaters Anonymous - Wellington

What is Addictive Eaters Anonymous?

Addictive Eaters Anonymous (AEA) is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from addictive eating.

AEA has members who have suffered from anorexia, bulimia and binge eating. Many have been underweight, overweight or obese; others were people of average weight yet suffered with an obsession with food. Members may have used exercise and other substances to try and control their weight. Before coming to AEA, members found that they were powerless over food, and unable to stop the food obsession.
