For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training to putting together a grab n’ go bag with survival essentials, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you can get through any situation.
This month also coincides with International Day of Disaster Reduction on October 13th and New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, on Thursday, October 17th at 1.30pm.

A missing cat was found dead near a poison bait station in Castor Bay. This is a horrible death that no pet should ever have endure. I blame Auckland Council for this. I am part of group that has been asking Auckland Council to make it safe for our pets and small children and we get the most rubbish responses from them.
This year when you vote think of your pets. Paw Justice are interviewing all perspective Mayors that have agreed to be interviewed and asking specific questions around our pets.They are streaming those interviews on Facebook over the weekend.
With all the harm being done to our pets we need to consider them very carefully when we vote. This video will give you some insight on two Mayoral candidates and gives insight on Phil Goff as he did not want to talk about our pets. This is more information to consider.

Thank you to mayoral candidates, John Tamiheri and Craig Lord, for talking to us about issues affecting pet owners in Auckland and what we can expect if they are elected. We invited Mayor Phil Goff to speak with us, but unfortunately, this invitation was not taken up and we couldn't secure an interview.

Hi Neighbours,
History tells us most of you won't vote in the Auckland Council elections by October 12. 38.5 per cent did last time. So I thought I'd offer a few tips about that unopened envelope that is sitting in your home, give it a go and see if you become a voter. Does it work ? … View moreHi Neighbours,

Hi everyone,

We have setup a Give-a-little page to help fundraise for my daughter, to have a major surgery in America that will change her life.
Faith was diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, and she has been doing physiotherapy since she was a toddler. Although she worked so hard with physio and exercises every day, it is heart breaking to see Cerebral Palsy increasingly affecting her whole body as she grew older.
This major surgery is called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR)
The SDR will reduce her spasticity, allowing her to have a better control of her body, to reduce her pain and help her gaining abilities to be more independent in moving from one position to another.
SDR will not cure Cerebral Palsy, but it will give her huge chance to have a better quality of life.
Because this surgery is not funded by the NZ government, we aim to raise $150,000 in total. The cost will cover the surgery, the intensive physiotherapy that she need immediately after, plus accommodation and flights.
Please read her story, please share her story,
and please, please donate to help us change Faith’s life. We thank you and forever grateful from the bottom of our hearts.
God bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Jessica, John, Faith and Nathan
