We know that when kids are involved in preparing for emergencies and learning about natural hazards, they encourage their families to be more prepared and play a more active role in responding to and recovering from emergencies.
As part of Get Ready Week 2016, we are launching our redeveloped schools resource What’s the Plan, encouraging schools to update their emergency preparedness plans and use the new resource to build resilience as a life skill for their students.
Here are our top tips for Prepared Kids
1. Give the school or day care a list of three people who can pick the kids up if you can’t get there.
2. Talk to your kids in an honest (but not scary) way about what might happen in an emergency, what you can do to keep safe, and what your plan is for if you can’t get home. The more involved they are, the less scared they will be if an emergency does happen.
3. Make a plan with your kids. Sit down together and talk about the things you need every day and work out what you would do if you didn’t have them. Grab a piece of paper and write down what you agree, who you need to contact and things you need to do to get ready.
4. Get your kids involved in getting supplies and checking them regularly. In an emergency you could be stuck at home for three
days or more. You probably have most of these things already, and you don’t have to have them all in one place, but you might have to find them in a hurry and/or in the dark.

President of the Association Andrew Isles says that this year, in addition to the horse events and petting zoos out on the field, there will be plenty to see and do inside the War Memorial Hall complex. “We are bringing some Show life back inside, with live music – including Rock n’ Roll and the ukelele orchestra – and 26 stall holders,” he says, “in addition to the trade exhibitors and things like the apple pie competition. The Home and Industry competitions are also back, and this year we have Cow Pat Bingo, though obviously that one will not be indoors!”
The A&P Show was first held in 1908 in Tāneatua and became a regular and popular fixture on the District’s calendar before moving to Whakatāne in the 1930s. It remained popular for many years, helping to bring town and country together, but in 2009 it was cancelled as organisers struggled to gain support. With new blood on board the Show returned in 2015 however, and Mr Iles says the Association is looking firmly to the future.
“We have a new committee but with some familiar faces like our patron Don Herdman, who has a long connection with the Association as well as the town, having served as Mayor. We also have a new logo and a new sense of mission to rejuvenate what was a regular spectacle in Whakatāne. We’d like to thank all our sponsors and exhibitors – and urge everyone in the District to come along; it is just a gold coin donation for a great day out.”
The Whakatāne A&P Show is on from 7-8 October at Rex Morpeth Park; for more information, visit: whakatane.com/events/whakatane-ap-show
