If you feel an earthquake that lasts for more than a minute or makes it hard to stand up, don’t wait for an official tsunami warning. Move immediately to the nearest high ground or as far inland as you can. Walk or bike if you can. Stay there until you get the all clear.

How do you feel about it being left like that a while longer then cut & sold as hay as a fund-raiser for the centre?

We are taking buses to the four corners of Auckland to see first hand how communities are to see first-hand how community-led development is happening across the city. Local hosts will introduce participants to projects, approaches, relationships and success factors that grow resilience, that is driven by and works for local people. And then we will take what we learn into a second day of interactive workshops. Activate is the first of its kind in New Zealand - it's going to be great - click on our link for all the details.

"It's always just about having a postiive-themed float and having a good time," co-president of the kindergarten committee Vic Nation said.
Last year they won the best float prize with their Kiwiana themed float, the year before that they were highly commended for "Tane's Forest" and the year before that they won best float for "Travelling Around the World for Christmas".
This year the parade's theme is a "Merry Movie Christmas" and they chose to use the recently released Trolls as their inspiration.
"It's a fun movie, adults and kids like it. It has a positive story and it is it happening now."
As the kindergarten's float is all about their wider community they have encouraged not just the students, but their siblings, parents and former pupils to ride on the float.
There is a $1000 prize for the float that best reflects the theme of a Merry Movie Christmas, and a $250 prize for the People's Choice Award, voted for on social media in the week following the parade.
* The Christmas Parade, with more than 30 Merry Movie Christmas themed floats, takes place on December 4 at 3pm at King St, making its way down Main St to Royal St. Expressions is holding an after party from 3pm to 6pm.

Here are a few questions to consider when looking to build or renovate:
• Do you know which materials used in your home require ongoing care and maintenance?
• Do you know how often and how to maintain these materials?
• Do you know who to contact if anything starts leaking, squeaking or cracking?
