Here at Neighbourhood Support we know first hand that communities that stay connected and prepared fare better in emergencies than those without a plan.

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.

Let us know how you’re preparing for anything in your home, at work or in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

This couch is very cool. It is the ultimate comfortable couch and you never have to worry about the kids or animals damaging it. It has all sorts of wear (but definitely no rips etc) although it adds to the charm. It could do with a handmans touch underneath but it does not affect the comfort and you definitely cant see it!
The couch DOESN'T come with any accessories but I have included the sheep skins and cushions in the photos so you can see how cool it looks dressed. I have put wheels on it to make it easier to move to vacuum under it (and so it looks great) as it is so heavy I couldn't pull it out. You will need two people to move it., pick up is Morningside Drive, Sandringham 230 long x 120 deep

Price: $120
