Home safety checklist: Fall-proofing your home when over 65...

With cooler weather embracing the country, you may find you’re not getting out and about as much. So now is the ideal time to make sure your home is as fall-proof as possible.

The home safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to make your home safe. It covers how to avoid slips and falls in the home’s most used areas. For example, paths can get icy in winter, applying salt or sand to your path can help avoid any icy slips.

Having a fall can be upsetting. Those over 65 have a one in three chance of having a fall, while those over 80 it’s one in two.

The good news is falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Work is beginning today on installing a community water station at Berhampore Nursery, Wellington.

Right now we’re constructing several of the 22 water stations around the region.

Our teams got together with Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (WREMO) and the four city councils last week to develop operational plans for distributing water from these sites.

A visit to our pilot site at Korokoro was a great opportunity to view equipment, and gave councils more insight on how the emergency water supply will work.

For more information about where the water stations will be and how they will operate check out wellingtonwater.co.nz...

Remember, the water stations will only operate from day 8 following an earthquake.

For the first 7 days you will be relying on your own stored water at home. You need 20 litres of stored water for every person, every day – for at least 7 days.
