Are you prepared for an emergency?

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

If the Wellington region experiences a big earthquake, communities may need to rely on themselves for up to a week or more before official help can get through.

If the Wellington region experiences a big earthquake, communities may need to rely on themselves for up to a week or more before official help can get through.

Community Emergency Hubs are places to gather and support each other during and after a disaster like an earthquake. They are opened and run entirely by the community, using their local knowledge, skills and resources to tackle the immediate challenges presented by a disaster.

Te Horo shows us how their Community Emergency Hub has been a great place to get to know your neighbour for a great purpose, to prepare their Hub and know what to do during and after a disaster.

Find out about your local Community Emergency Hub and learn how you and your community can get through together.

The meaning of money

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

A lot of married couples argue about money.

This is because money is symbolic of our emotional needs—such as safety and power—and our personal histories.

Arguments about money aren’t about money. They are about our dreams, our fears, and our inadequacies.

The key is not to focus on… View more

This is because money is symbolic of our emotional needs—such as safety and power—and our personal histories.

Arguments about money aren’t about money. They are about our dreams, our fears, and our inadequacies.

The key is not to focus on how much something costs. Instead, it’s to go beneath the dollar value to explore what money means to each person in the relationship.

10am, Sunday, February 17:
Eulie, a 7-year old from Lower Hutt, is inviting all children and their whanau to start the new school year right by doing good for our community, our environment, and marine life. Come help clean up Petone Beach!
Everyone welcome!
The clean-up will be focused on the western end of Petone Beach because it is a catchment area for plastic washed up on the beach by the tides. An easy way to make a positive difference to our environment now and for future generations is to help by picking it all up. Every piece of plastic collected is one less piece for marine life to consume; one less piece for marine life to become entangled in.
If you would like to come along and help clean up Petone Beach we will meet in front of the (blue) Wellington water ski clubrooms at the motorway end of Petone beach. Enter at Honiana Te Puni Reserve and turn right. There is a large carpark to the right of the clubrooms.
(Latex) gloves will be provided; however, garden gloves are ideal to wear over these if you are able to bring yours. Buckets are also ideal to bring along to collect the small pieces of plastic in, and these can then be emptied into the large coffee sacks.
