Emergency Mobile Alert (EMA) system test on May 25

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

The nationwide test of the Emergency Mobile Alert (EMA) system is happening on Sunday, 25 May, between 6-7pm 📱 ⚠️

The alert will be broadcast from cell towers to over 5.5 million phones across NZ. If your phone is turned on, capable, and has up-to-date software, you should receive the alert.

The Emergency Mobile Alert is an extra channel that can help keep you safe in an emergency. It doesn’t replace other alerting systems or the need to take action after natural warnings. You should still be prepared for an emergency.

If you feel you’re in danger, never wait for an official warning. Take immediate action.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

💡 A Little Brain Buzz for You⚡

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new
