This week in Pulse of the Nation we're asking about boy racers, also known as 'car enthusiasts'. Are they a concern in your community?

We know that when kids are involved in preparing for emergencies and learning about natural hazards, they encourage their families to be more prepared and play a more active role in responding to and recovering from emergencies.
As part of Get Ready Week 2016, we are launching our redeveloped schools resource What’s the Plan, encouraging schools to update their emergency preparedness plans and use the new resource to build resilience as a life skill for their students.
Here are our top tips for Prepared Kids
1. Give the school or day care a list of three people who can pick the kids up if you can’t get there.
2. Talk to your kids in an honest (but not scary) way about what might happen in an emergency, what you can do to keep safe, and what your plan is for if you can’t get home. The more involved they are, the less scared they will be if an emergency does happen.
3. Make a plan with your kids. Sit down together and talk about the things you need every day and work out what you would do if you didn’t have them. Grab a piece of paper and write down what you agree, who you need to contact and things you need to do to get ready.
4. Get your kids involved in getting supplies and checking them regularly. In an emergency you could be stuck at home for three
days or more. You probably have most of these things already, and you don’t have to have them all in one place, but you might have to find them in a hurry and/or in the dark.

This is a great new facility that could have a major impact on road congestion by encouraging those interested but nervous about riding on the road to use their bikes.
CCC are also be using a new web-based public consultation tool called Social Pinpoint for the first time. For Major Cycle Routes, it allows people to click on a specific area on a map that affects or concerns them and leave their comment or thoughts. It’s an online tool that aims to improve the way organisations engage with their communities and stakeholders.
We will be holding three public drop-in sessions throughout the engagement period where you can meet with the project team and discuss the plans further:
Tuesday 18 October
5pm - 7pm (presentation at 5.15pm)
The Atrium, Christchurch Netball Centre
455 Hagley Avenue
Thursday 20 October
7pm - 9pm (presentation at 7.15pm)
South-West Baptist Church Hall
244 Lyttelton Street
Wednesday 26 October
5.30pm - 7.30pm (presentation at 5.45pm)
Te Hapua Halswell Centre, Hao Room
341 Halswell Road
