If you sent a submission and indicated a wish to be heard here is the information. There has to be publicity about this. The application to poison cats very close to our homes has been submitted by a poisons manufacturer. It is a very cynical and purely a business decision. They want a reply by 19th Feb 2019. The very short time to confirm is further of concern!

......On 12/04/2018, the EPA had an application APP202879 -PredaSTOP for feral cats containing 410g/kg PAPP (Para-aminopropiophenone) opened for public submissions.

Please use below link to access information on the EPA website.

If the Wellington region experiences a big earthquake, communities may need to rely on themselves for up to a week or more before official help can get through.

Community Emergency Hubs are places to gather and support each other during and after a disaster like an earthquake. They are opened and run entirely by the community, using their local knowledge, skills and resources to tackle the immediate challenges presented by a disaster.

Te Horo shows us how their Community Emergency Hub has been a great place to get to know your neighbour for a great purpose, to prepare their Hub and know what to do during and after a disaster.

Find out about your local Community Emergency Hub and learn how you and your community can get through together.
