In these changing times, most of us realise that local resilience is increasingly important in times of disaster.
ANCAD is proud to be working with the Devonport Takapuna Local Board, Auckland Emergency Management and local people to plan how our local areas can be more resilient.
The focus is on four major areas:
Reduction of risks from hazards;
Readiness, awareness, preparedness and understanding;
Response to manage disasters; and
Recovery from disasters
What are the risks in your area? How can you and your local community be better prepared for disasters? And how might you manage and recover from disaster?
Save the date to join us, hear more and begin planning to improve local resilience for your community.
Please RSVP for catering purposes to info@ancad.org.nz 094864820
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
