Do you know where to find your Community Emergency Hub?
After an emergency, once you’ve checked your family and neighbours, you can go to your local Community Emergency Hub. This is where people in your neighbourhood can support each other and work out what to do next. Find out where your local Community Emergency Hub is located, at wremo.nz...
While councils, emergency services and Civil Defence have plans in place to respond, in a major emergency these services will be stretched and may not be able to get to every issue immediately. Your Community Emergency Hub is opened and run by people like you, using the skills and resources you already have – together, we can get through a disaster.
For more information on how you and your whānau can be prepared, check in with our friends at Wellington Region Emergency Management Office and visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz... for more information.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
