Poll: When's too early for DIY?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We can all generally agree that noise from loud music or parties in the early hours of Sunday is a no-no. But when is it okay to fire up the power tools, leaf blower or lawn mower on a Sunday morning?

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the We Say You Say… View moreWe can all generally agree that noise from loud music or parties in the early hours of Sunday is a no-no. But when is it okay to fire up the power tools, leaf blower or lawn mower on a Sunday morning?

When's too early for DIY?

• Afternoons are for DIY. Never mornings.
• Anytime before 10am is too early.
• 8am is early, but acceptable.
• I'd let them away with 9am.

Get prepared for an emergency

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

At Council we play an important role in emergency management for Kāpiti, operating within the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) framework.

So how will we let you know if you need to evacuate in an emergency? Aside from the “Long OR strong, get gone” message for earthquakes and tsunami risk, at other times emergency services will knock on your door if you need to evacuate, or use loud hailers in the streets.

You can also download our free Antenno app, where we’ll send out alerts in an emergency situation – find out more at www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

We saw a bit of discussion about sirens going off – remember that in Kāpiti, sirens are for firefighters; we won’t use them for emergency situations or tsunami. You can find out more about the reasons for this at Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (WREMO’s) position on tsunami sirens 👉 wremo.nz....

Stay safe out there Kāpiti, and to make sure you’re prepared for an emergency, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
