The following media release comes from Emergency Management Bay of Plenty.

A new way to let people know about an emergency is coming to a phone near you. That’s the message from the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management, who are leading the implementation of a new nationwide emergency alert channel. A live nationwide test will be held on 26 November 2017 to check the new system.

Director of Emergency Management Bay of Plenty Clinton Naude says the alerts are sent using cell broadcast technology, so there is no need to sign up or download an app.

We’ve had hundreds of you tell us just what makes your neighbour ‘awesome’ with some amazing stories. Do you have an awesome neighbour you haven’t told us about?

It could be a neighbour who donates time to a sports team in your neighbourhood or someone who brings your bins up the driveway every week. Maybe they’re just really unique; the neighbour who drives that bright pink car or skateboards with the kids to school each day.

Tell us why your neighbour is awesome and you could win one of four $250 Prezzy® cards (plus one for your Awesome Neighbour).

A number of agencies who have been involved in recovery services are getting on board… and we’re sure the wider community will want to contribute too. Christmas trees are up at Te Tari Āwhina – Community Hub at Edgecumbe Library and in the Customer Services area at the Whakatāne District Council as drop-off points for gifts for children aged 0 – 13.

Alternatively, businesses might like to have an office whip-around and provide cash to buy gifts where we see a gap in donated presents for a particular age group. Details at
