Do you know where to find your Community Emergency Hub?

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

After an emergency, once you’ve checked your family and neighbours, you can go to your local Community Emergency Hub. This is where people in your neighbourhood can support each other and work out what to do next. Find out where your local Community Emergency Hub is located, at wremo.nz...

While councils, emergency services and Civil Defence have plans in place to respond, in a major emergency these services will be stretched and may not be able to get to every issue immediately. Your Community Emergency Hub is opened and run by people like you, using the skills and resources you already have – together, we can get through a disaster.

For more information on how you and your whānau can be prepared, check in with our friends at Wellington Region Emergency Management Office and visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz... for more information.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
