The Minister of Civil Defence, Hon Kris Faafoi, mayors and representatives from the four councils, (Wellington City Council, Hutt City Council, Upper Hutt City Council, Porirua City Council) were in attendance to help open the first of the community water stations, and learn more about how they'll operate.
Wellington's drinking water supply network is vulnerable. Underground pipes and reservoirs could be badly damaged in a significant earthquake and as a result some suburbs could be without drinking water for more than 100 days.
Over the past 12 months we have been working with central and local government to develop an above ground emergency water network that will supply the more than 400,000 people across Wellington from day eight following a disaster.
It’s important to remember that following a major earthquake, the first thing people rely on is themselves and their families, so storing water is a must for every household.
You should have 20 litres of stored water for every person, every day, for at least seven days. That’s 560 litres for a four-person household. You may need to store more if you have unwell people, or small children in your home.
200 litre tanks (which are easy to install) can be purchased from your local council for $105.

We've got a social media update for pet rabbit owners:
Following the discovery of a new strain of calicivirus on a Marlborough farm in May, MPI has now sourced vaccine doses to protect pet rabbits. The initial order of 2000 doses for the RHDV2 strain have now been distributed to veterinarians who ordered it. Ongoing supplies are also secured and available to vets via AsureQuality. Rabbit owners who would like to vaccinate their rabbits will need to book an appointment with their veterinarian. While MPI will cover the cost of these first 2000 vaccine doses, rabbit owners will need to cover any additional costs, such as the veterinarian's consultation fee.
There are also a number of practical steps people can take to minimise the risk to their pets. If you own rabbits, you should keep them separate from wild rabbits, wash hands between handling rabbits and control insects around pet rabbits as they can spread the virus between rabbits.
When MPI confirmed the new strain of the rabbit calicivirus, we suspected a wider distribution since it was a wild rabbit. Two further cases of RHDV2 have since been confirmed, both involving wild rabbits in the Bay of Plenty. These cases were picked up as part of monitoring the effectiveness of the controlled calicivirus K5 release that was undertaken earlier in the year.
We still don’t know how widespread this strain is in New Zealand, but because the virus can spread rapidly, there is a chance it is already prevalent in the wild.
The virus affects rabbits and the European hare. It has no impact on human health or other animals.

It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!
