This week in Pulse of the Nation we're asking about boy racers, also known as 'car enthusiasts'. Are they a concern in your community?
This year the theme for Get Ready Week is Prepared Kids. We know that when kids are involved in preparing for emergencies and learning about natural hazards, they encourage their families to be more prepared and play a more active role in responding to and recovering from emergencies.

We know that when kids are involved in preparing for emergencies and learning about natural hazards, they encourage their families to be more prepared and play a more active role in responding to and recovering from emergencies.
As part of Get Ready Week 2016, we are launching our redeveloped schools resource What’s the Plan, encouraging schools to update their emergency preparedness plans and use the new resource to build resilience as a life skill for their students.
Here are our top tips for Prepared Kids
1. Give the school or day care a list of three people who can pick the kids up if you can’t get there.
2. Talk to your kids in an honest (but not scary) way about what might happen in an emergency, what you can do to keep safe, and what your plan is for if you can’t get home. The more involved they are, the less scared they will be if an emergency does happen.
3. Make a plan with your kids. Sit down together and talk about the things you need every day and work out what you would do if you didn’t have them. Grab a piece of paper and write down what you agree, who you need to contact and things you need to do to get ready.
4. Get your kids involved in getting supplies and checking them regularly. In an emergency you could be stuck at home for three
days or more. You probably have most of these things already, and you don’t have to have them all in one place, but you might have to find them in a hurry and/or in the dark.

Stuff regularly has the headline "What's Happening In...." followed by the neighbourly area. Sometimes the teaser headlines show items relevant to Hastings even though nominally in Napier.

We can choose which areas within our 'neighbourhood 's want to see postings from, so why can't our 'neighbourhood' be Hawke's Bay rather than Hastings, does anybody know?
Sometime the headlines indicate topics from other areas that are nationally relevant, but we seem unable to access them. By posting these headlines in this area, but not enabling access to see them, Stuff is just being irritating.
Does anyone know of a tiler who is available to do a small bathroom job. 1.5 metres square in total. I have tried a few already but they all seem to be very busy and no one is keen to do smaller jobs like this.
