Now is a great time to check fire alarm batteries and make sure emergency supplies are well stocked and up to date.
School holidays start on Friday and there have already been sightings of cars with boats and surfboards flooding into Northland. What is the traffic like where you are? What do you think about holidaymakers coming north?

Watch the announcement on Facebook and read about the scheme on the Beehive website.
