Red Cross Good & Ready Week Disaster Preparation
New Zealand Red Cross
Hi everyone,
I'm Brigitte, community activator for the Auckland Red Cross. Last week was Good and Ready Week and New Zealand Red Cross is encouraging everyone to get involved and be prepared in case a disaster strikes ๐ช
Download the FREE New Zealand Red Cross Hazard app to help you and your family prepare for and help you get through emergencies in New Zealand.
It provides life-saving information before, during and after emergencies, sending official warnings and alerts, and providing step-by-step guides to help households get ready for emergencies ๐จ
Preloaded content provides instant access to all preparedness information, even without cell phone reception or an internet connection
Being prepared for a disaster reduces our vulnerability and helps save lives. Get to know your neighbours and your community. Remember your neighbour could be your first responder in an emergency.
Red Cross aims to be NZโs primary partner in Preparation, Response & Recovery in disasters.
Ask yourself:
โIs my household Good and Ready in case of earthquake, fire, flood or other disaster?โ
Find out more to get alerts for your local area:

Feel free to get in touch to hear more about our Good & Ready Program or if you are interested in being a volunteer.
Take care everyone.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐ป๐จ๐
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weโre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature โ and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
๐ Riddle me this, legends! ๐
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
(Shezz from Ngฤruawฤhia kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Shezz!)
