Cyclone Recovery
In 1931 Napier had a huge earthquake. While you may have known about this event, you may not have known that a number of those who lost their homes in Hawkes Bay were evacuated to Waikanae and stayed in unoccupied beach houses. Local families provided food and helped in various ways. In Chris Maclean's book "Waikanae" there is a description of the significant help provided by Waikanae families. This included providing food, and other basic support. The local families helped in numerous ways including taking people to Wellington to visit dentists or to get new glasses.
I am wondering if we should be organising somehow similar.
a) Maybe B & B houses can be made available for free?
b) Maybe you have some spare rooms available in your house that you can share.
c) Maybe there is a way some of the empty batches can be offered to families.
d) Maybe there is a way to contact the owners of beach houses who live in Wellington to offer help..
If anyone in Waikanae knows how this could be organised I am sure there are Welfare centres in Hawkes bay that could organise t their end and someone in the Kapiti area could be organised this part of the response.
