Signing up only takes 2 minutes and when you do, you’ll be entered to win a personal emergency grab bag or civil defence wheelie bin kit from NZ Civil Defence.
ShakeOut takes place around the world to remind people of the right action to take during an earthquake:
DROP - down on your hands and knees. This protects you from falling but lets you move if you need to.
COVER - your head and neck (or entire body if possible) under a sturdy table or desk (if it is within a few steps of you). If there is no shelter nearby, cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.
HOLD - on to your shelter (or your position to protect your head and neck) until the shaking stops. If the shaking shifts your shelter around, move with it.
Head to www.shakeout.govt.nz... to sign up today and get involved!

Forty-thousands of books for sale!
Much to Lions’ relief, 40,000 donated books will be taken out of storage on October 14 and set up in the Waikanae Memorial Hall in readiness for the 24th consecutive Lions Monster Bookfair on Saturday and Sunday, the 16th and 17th October.
Project manager Peter Cresswell said months of work is nearing its end for Lions after uncertainty as to whether Covid19 restrictions may have forced a cancellation.
“So, it is with a huge sigh of relief that we are able to proceed although under Level 2 conditions. We will be using the usual large Waikanae Memorial hall’s main room plus the smaller room normally used for priced books. There will be door controls to maintain the 100-person limits and as customer depart, more will be allowed in. Face masks must be worn and there will be fewer tables to allow for the required health distancing.
In spite of the Covid restrictions we hope once again to raise close to $40,000 for Kapiti’s needy organisations. This could bring the total raised by the Bookfair since its inception, to more than three-quarters of a million dollars!
The two days of the Combined Lions Monster Bookfair usually sees people from throughout the region congregating, even before the doors open at 8am on the Saturday. “As always the range and quantity of books for sale is ‘mind-blowing’ and there are titles to suit everyone.”
The Bookfair is all for great causes, says Cresswell. “The money raised will go the Special Olympics Kapiti, Birthright Kapiti, Kapiti Women’s Refuge, Whale Song Kapiti Coast, Wellington Children’s Hospital Playground Project, Paraparumu Foodbank and the Cancer Society.”
