Staying home over the break?
The long weekend is the perfect time to make your place safer for an earthquake with these steps:
• Find out where you can turn off your water and gas mains
• Check your chimney for any signs of wear and tear, or damage
• Check your home's foundations are secured
• Move heavy items that are up high to safer, lower down locations.
• Secure tall and heavy furniture and appliances
These simple actions can keep your whānau safer in case of a big shake, so tick them off and make the most of your break.

Send in your little free library images and locations NZ wide
I’ve been creating a map for NZ with all the little free libraries, so far I have around a lot so far but know especially in the North Island there are many many more. Nationwide they can be found in everything from fridges to bus stops and little library cupboards. Please send a picture and short description of your library or ones you have seen. Dont forget to tell us where it is. I have a Facebook page Robyn’s Fence Art & Little Free Libraries Auckland which has links to the maps as well.
