Now is the time for community.
⚠ We are now in a full scale civil defence emergency, with multiple simultaneous challenges for our response and recovery teams. ⚠
This is the time for community.
👨👩👧👦 If you can open your door and offer a meal or a cup of tea to friends and neighbours, please contact them.
💪 If you have special skills and abilities, please look around your neighbourhood and see who needs a hand. Take the initiative and work within your ability.
It's also time to stop taking any further risks. Follow the published official advice. Please do not enter flood waters. Do not attempt to perform work that puts you in danger. Do not approach downed power lines. Be particularly aware of the risk of land-slides. Please do not approach flooded rivers or viewing-platforms. Please stay out of forests and our walking tracks.
Be prepared in case your own situation becomes more challenging.
💧 If you have running water, fill up some bottles as an emergency supply. If you're dependent on your emergency supplies now, plan for how you can make them last.
A lot of our communities are in a vulnerable place right now. If you're able to help, it's time.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
