Helping people to know what their rights and responsibilities are and how they can act on these is core to what the Citizens Advice Bureau is about. We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take next steps and to resolve their problems.
A highlight of this year’s Awareness Week is the launch of the CAB’s new public website - www.cab.org.nz.... After a year of development and user testing, the resulting website provides an accessible, mobile-friendly, knowledgebase of 2,000 questions and answers about people’s rights that are based on real issues confronted by clients.
The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand.
The website also provides a directory of more than 30,000 community organisations so that the CAB can help connect people with any additional services they need.
We’re keen to break down any barriers people face in finding out what their rights are. Our new website is a fantastic resource for the whole community, and complements the amazing face-to-face and phone service provided by our skilled and dedicated volunteers.
We invite you to Discover Your Rights with us this Awareness Week by checking out our new website www.cab.org.nz..., calling us 0800 367 222, or by visiting your local CAB. We’re here to help.

The region's twice-yearly tsunami siren test sounds at noon in the Rodney and Waitakere ward areas. It'll consist of three sets of tones two minutes long. "It's important to test the sirens to make sure they're working, and that Aucklanders know what they sound like," said Sarah Sinclair, Auckland emergency management acting director. "There's no cause for alarm during the testing and the public isn't required to do anything." In a real emergency, the tones will last longer. Messages will also be sent to people signed up to receive emergency alerts on their phones. Like Fire and Emergency's push to check smoke alarms, the tsunami test is timed to coincide with the change in daylight saving.
The tones
========
Alert (dash - dash - dot - dot) sounds for 15 minutes and indicates the threat of a tsunami. Evacuate beaches, prepare for full evacuation and monitor the radio or television for more information. Evacuate (dot - dot - dot) continuous bursts for 15 minutes indicates immediate evacuation to the nearest safe high ground. Please avoid using personal transport unless essential. All clear (continuous tone) sounds for 5 minutes indicate threat has passed. Return to premises if they have not been affected and follow directions of the emergency services if your area has been affected.

Walk in their shoes for a day; put on your gumboots and/or give a gold coin and help provide free counselling to any kid in need.
Last year in New Zealand 137 young people died by suicide and it is estimated another 3500 attempted to take their own lives. While Government agencies are doing their best some kids are stuck waiting up to six months to receive the counselling they so urgently need. To tackle that barrier, 100% of all donations will go directly to the registered health professionals to tee up counselling quickly for kids.
