It's important that you, your family and friends know what to do in the event of an earthquake or tsunami so this is the perfect opportunity to prepare. If you practice these drills twice a year you have a significantly lower chance of being injured in one of these events. So what do you need to do?
How to ShakeOut
- Sign up at shakeout.govt.nz/signup (takes two minutes).
- Follow the steps at bopcivildefence.govt.nz/get-ready. This includes making an emergency plan, packing a getaway kit and knowing what to do with your pets.
- Conduct the earthquake drill. If you are in a coastal area take a walk to familiarise yourself with your evacuation route in the event of a tsunami.
How to conduct an earthquake drill
Drop to your hands and knees to ensure you don’t fall.
Cover your head and neck. If possible take shelter under a sturdy table or desk. Do not move more than three steps.
Hold onto your head and neck (or protection) until the shaking stops.
How to conduct a tsunami hikoi
Find your evacuation route at bopcivildefence.govt.nz or find your local tsunami map. These maps can also be obtained from your local council.
It is important to know the natural warning signs. If an earthquake is Long or Strong - Get Gone. If you notice unusual sea water levels or noises coming from the ocean - Get Gone.

Hi everyone. On the way to work this morning, just coming off the bridge heading towards Maungatapu, just to the left up on the bank appears to be a small tan puppy/or dog. I'm really sorry to the owner :(

The annual refugee quota will lift from 1000 to 1500 by July 2020, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced this week. Before 2016 the refugee quota sat static at 750 for 30 years, well behind many other western nations. The National Government then raised it to 1000. Is it enough?

Disappointing to see no Rotorua restaurants in the top 100,considering that tourists come here by the droves its a shame this isnt so.
Having said that though,i have had some nice dinners at a few places since coming here,though others i would never return to.
Any other thoughts?
