Prepared For Anything - October 1st to 31st ππ»π₯«π¦π§΄β‘οΈππ§»π§°ππ©Ήπ§―ππ₯Ύπ§Ό
Here at Neighbourhood Support we know first hand that communities that stay connected and prepared fare better in emergencies and natural disasters than those without a plan.
For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training and stocking up on essentials to putting together a grab nβ go bag or working with your neighbours to create a neighbourhood resillience plan, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you and your community can get through any situation. Joining or setting up a Neighbourhood Support group is a great way to keep in touch and work together to reach out, look out and help out one another no matter what life may bring.
Donβt forget! This month also coincides with New Zealandβs national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, which will be taking place on Thursday, October 28th at 9:30am.
Let us know how youβre getting prepared this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

What are your thoughts on the job losses at Kinleith Mill?
βWeβre moving to Australia.β
Those were the words shouted from the window of a passing car full of Kinleith Mill workers after hearing that at least 230 of them would be losing their jobs by the end of June.
What are your thoughts on the job losses at Kinleith Mill? Tell us in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
