Hobsonville Pt. Gets Ready <-|-> COVID-19 Support Group
STAY PREPARED - Hi neighbours! When any emergency or disaster strikes a community, one of the best predictors of how well residents will fare isn’t how much stuff they have but how well they know each other. Knowing who your neighbours are and what skills and resources they can provide in a time of need is a critical part to any emergency preparedness strategy - one that is often overlooked or underestimated.
A great tool was developed during the Canterbury Earthquakes called Canterbury Gets Ready - a database which stores household info such as the number of people living at each residence, emergency contact details, skills and resources available, as well as any serious conditions or special needs that volunteers (like me and any of you who'd like to help) and first responders need to be aware of.
So....how about we put together our own "Hobsonville Point Gets Ready" strategy?
The point of the database is to disseminate local advice linked with local services, provide care packs to vulnerable people (more on this later, watch this space) and to help neighbours to connect.
The first step is to touch base with those who want to be a part of this. It's fine if you don't want to participate - and anyone reading this already has access to info online. I'm more worried about oldies & newbies.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
