For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training to putting together a grab n’ go bag with survival essentials, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you can get through any situation.
This month also coincides with International Day of Disaster Reduction on October 13th and New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, on Thursday, October 17th at 1.30pm.

Lonely and Blue......
Looking for a new home
Maybe with you......
I once was black
But my outer fabric is gone
Due to the cat
And also the sun
I just need a cover
Anything you choose
Then I wont have the blues
I've been a coffee table
Bedside chair too
I even accept feet
Whatever suits you
Please take me home
Away from this basement
You won't be disappointed
Cos for you I'm heaven sent
My owners tell me
That I am free
Just pick me up
