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 n’ 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.
Don’t forget! This month also coincides with New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, which will be taking place on Thursday, October 28th at 9:30am.
Let us know how you’re 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

Our changing climate poses risks to our natural and built environments. Swiss Re in a global analysis of insurance risk said to “expect climate risks to raise global property premiums by 33-41% between 2020 and 2040”. The potential increase was deemed a direct consequence of our changing climate.
Our Climate Insights property report provides easily understood information on change to risks for your current or a future property. The report includes robust and actionable information for residential property owners, tenants and investors to enhance their property’s climate resilience.

The dates for 2021 are Friday 29 and Saturday 30 October and we are all set to collect at these sites:
• Bunnings;
• Countdown;
• Mega Mitre 10 (this year listed as two doors: MM10 – East Door and MM 10 – West Door);
• New World Hastings (this year listed as two doors: NW Hastings Heretaunga St Entrance and NW Hastings – Hastings St Entrance);
• Pak ‘N Save; and
• Unichem Pharmacy Stortford Lodge (fingers crossed for a big Lotto prize that weekend).
Registrations are now open and so you could do any one of the following to register for this year:
• you could go to the web site - www.breastcancerfoundation.org.nz...
• or I am more than happy to assist if you contact me – either send a message here or email susiemcc@xtra.co.nz
Please ask your friends and family to lend a helping hand – blokes are more than welcome – remember – men can get breast cancer too!
Collecting is a doddle and those of you who have collected before know that people are generally very happy to contribute to this important cause.
Just send me an email if you have any questions.
I look forward to working with you all – in the pink: a scarf, a skirt, a bow-tie, earrings, a whimsey, a wig, a t-shirt/jacket/jumper, pink feather boa, pink bowler hat – some / any / all of those!
Regards
Susie McCutcheon
Pink Ribbon Appeal Co-ordinator for Hastings
