In case of emergency

So, the Canterbury earthquake. Our thoughts are with our friends and whaunau in the area, and we’re so glad that there haven’t been any fatalities *hugz*

But, of course, living in the shaky city of Wellington, it makes us aware of the importance of being prepared should such a big one hit our fair city. Remember – parts of the two roads out of the city run along the fault line.

Resources for preparedness in an earthquake:

• Wellington City Council’s basic preparedness guidelines
• The Government’s Get Ready Get Thru guide
• The Greater Wellington Regional Council’s earthquake information

In the meantime, let’s count our blessings – we have electricity, telecommunications, running water, sewerage and a roof over our heads.
