Know Your Home
We may be a little paranoid, but we were living in Blenheim when the Kaikoura quake hit, but in case of any emergency that may involve water go and find out where your toby (the tap that turns the mains water off) is. Check it works. It is of no use what so ever in an emergency if you cannot isolate your water supply. With the competitiveness of building it seems like the old standbys of floor wastes and isolation valves are usually not installed so your home will flood if you cannot locate some way to turn off the pressurized water from the Council feeds. Do your "homework", be prepared.
Whilst you are on maintenance, check your guttering for leaves and your down pipes for blockages, these can be catastrophic in heavy raid, and can be out for your insurance firm. "Due Care" is in your hands....

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
