Our homes can be our greatest investment and protecting our homes against climate change has become more important than ever.

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.

Nice Neighbour

Michelle from Linton

What is the point of nominating for nice neighbour? I nominated someone ages ago, they won and it has never been printed in the paper and they have never received their prezzy card.

I nominated someone ages ago, they won and it has never been printed in the paper and they have never received their prezzy card. I messaged stuff and they said it went to print which is rubbish as I check the paper every week and like I said, the person never received their prize either. I messaged them again to ask if they had sent out the prezzy card and have had no reply. This is such an embarrassment! Can Neighbourly actually do anything about this? Very disappointed for the person that won, and makes me look like a fool 😣

Join the rest of the motu on October 28 by taking part in our national earthquake drill and tsunami hīkoi, ShakeOut. 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!
