I guess many of you will know that it’s Neighbours Day Aotearoa next weekend (24 and 25 March) and maybe have something planned for your neighbourhood. I know there’s a community day at Rarangi on 24 March and we'll have a presence there!

You don’t need to be best mates with your neighbours but they might be the people who will support you in an emergency, or they may need your support. Don’t wait for an emergency before you say ‘hi’ at the gate or over the fence. If there’s something going on in your neighbourhood this weekend – join in.

Here are some useful links to help you prepare for an emergency:
