Our apparent apathy over tsunami system - what can we do to improve this?

Eleanor Wenman Reporter from The Hutt News

A new approach to the tsunami threat has been met with apathy by Lower Hutt residents.
Instead of relying on sirens, the council is encouraging people to respond to a large earthquake by moving inland but turnout to the city council's recent public information meetings to discuss the new approach has been poor. What do you think of our current warning system - could it be improved? And how can we get more people invested in safety?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
