Tsunami Siren Testing

Gareth from Burwood

Just a friendly reminder that tsunami siren testing will be conducted by Christchurch CDEM this Sunday 1 April 2018 at 11am. Could you please take note and distribute to your networks as necessary.

The tsunami sirens installed along Christchurch’s coastline from Brooklands to Taylors Mistake will be tested as part of a biannual testing exercise to coincide with daylight savings.

The sirens will sound for up to three minutes and can usually be heard a few blocks from the coastline.

If you live near the coast, it’s a good time to check whether you are in a tsunami evacuation zone and to work out a plan with your family.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
