Northpower Network General Manager Josie Boyd says the likelihood of power outages could increase as wet and windy weather persists. “It's important to ensure that you're prepared for storms or other situations that may affect your power supply. People should ensure they have plenty of drinking water and it is worth filling buckets and baths (if you have one) for washing and toilet flushing,” says Mrs. Boyd.
Northpower says people should also keep mobile phones charged and ensure you have a car charger for your devices to ensure you can keep in touch and keep informed.
People should also have a torch handy (they are safer than candles which can be a fire hazard), and have a gas bottle topped up for cooking.
In the case of outages, Northpower will provide regular updates on northpower.com and facebook.com/NorthpowerNZ.
Civil Defence Northland also have good guidelines for being prepared, staying safe and putting together an emergency survival and getaway kit - nrc.govt.nz/civildefence.

Resene will then donate all the food brought in to The Salvation Army local foodbanks.
By adding a little more colour to your life you can also help those in need. When you bring in 2 cans of food you'll save on your testpot purchase (save up to $5.90 on an 80ml testpot) while also helping provide disadvantaged Kiwis with food parcels when they need them most.
So start gathering up those cans and bring them into your local Resene owned ColorShop.
Less is best – plastic that is. So what better way to help the environment than to create your own fun, reusable calico shopping bag? Paint your own with Resene testpots.

My dad is 92, he just wrote this little poem
I don't know what to do now that I'm 92
I'll have to wait and see when I turn 93
Perhaps I'll do much more when I am 94
And really come alive when I reach 95
Maybe I'll learn new tricks when I am … View moreMy dad is 92, he just wrote this little poem

And not go up to Heaven just because I'm 97
Life will still be great when I am 98
And everything was just fine when I turn 99
Nothing rhymes with Hundred and so I'll have to say
I'll have a cold Waikato to celebrate the day

Hi
This sounds very interesting, so I thought I'd share it, as there's often not a lot to do around here. Very reasonable cost too.

More Kiwis are now working from home, if that's you then it's time to check if you’re on the right power plan. SWITCH, SAVE and SMILE this Summer!

I am confuesed. I have spoken to others who like me have seen people getting Jabs but our percentages have not changed since the end of November. The numbers are why we are at red so with people getting jabs but numbers saying that there has not been a single injection in Northland?
