"There's so much food and stuff gone, but we're alive - that's the main thing," says Kaikoura resident Diane Edkins (pictured) who finds out whether her house is given the all-clear while a Red Cross volunteer is with her: www.redcross.org.nz...

We're backing schools to set up walking buses and other solutions, with parents and volunteers helping local kids get to class safely.
We wrote to the nation's mayors pleading with them to lower speed limits outside schools, and many have come back to us with expressions of support. We talked to well-known New Zealanders with school-aged kids, and they united behind the campaign.
You can get involved too. We know people are busy, so the Sunday Star-Times and Neighbourly are encouraging families to choose one day a week when they and their kids walk, scoot, cycle - even ride a horse if that's what works for you!
I've chosen Mondays as the days I'll cycle to school with my 6-year-old son. And Neighbourly has set up a special pledge page, where you can choose a day when you will try to Foot It with your kids, talk with others doing the same - and go into the draw to win one of 50 Micro scooters. www.neighbourly.co.nz...

Northlanders are being warned to stay off beaches and out of the water following the 7.5 magnitude earthquake in Canterbury.
Those living on the coast were evacuated early Monday morning as a precaution against a predicated tsunami.
Tsunami sirens were activated and Civil Defence Northland posted on Facebook asking Northlanders living on the coast to move inland or to higher ground immediately after the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management reported there was an imminent threat.
People near the beach at Ngunguru evacuated themselves to the hills and it is understood this also occurred at Ruakaka and Tutukaka.
The tsunami siren also sounded at Ruawai on Kaipara's west coast harbour, but a decision was made by the Ruawai Community Response group there was no immediate need to evacuate.
