Petone Wharf has been shut due to damage from the recent 7.8 quake. At 830 metres long, it's one of the longest in the harbour and is a favourite spot for recreational fishermen. The estimated cost of refurbishment is likely to be in the millions.
I have an old refridgerator and a washing machine that I need to get rid of. Instead of taking it to the tip, is there a 2nd hand whiteware store that I can call to collect them for parts?

Here are three of my top tips you can use to survive the Silly Season.
1. Communicate clearly about what needs to be done and how you're going to do it.
So important to plan with your partner and family members, to make sure you are all on the same page.
2. Be clear about your social commitments with your partner and family.
Some forward communication can make all the difference here by letting your partner know in advance what events are coming up and going though the diary together.
3. It's OK to say no
Don't fall into the trap of being a "people pleaser" and saying yes to every Christmas event.
In fact, it's a good practice to say "I'll get back to you about that", so you have time to think it through, make it fits into your schedule, and you can confirm with your partner or family.

Knowing the right immediate action to take can save lives and prevent injury. If you are near the coast and feel a strong earthquake that makes it hard to stand up, or a rolling earthquake that lasts longer than a minute, move immediately to high ground, or as far inland as possible.
The earthquake is your first warning, tsunami waves can arrive within minutes. Do not wait for official advice or warning systems.
Contact your local civil defence group for tsunami zone maps and plan your route today. www.civildefence.govt.nz...
Talk to your neighbours about where you will go, and who might need your help.
