This morning over 40 neighbours gathered together. Some neighbours meet each other for the first time, shared details, discussed crime prevention, reporting, how to look out for one another plus discused security options of cctv.
Many thanks to Const Stringfellow, our Community Liasion Officer for attending and connecting as Police with this community. Dedicated to attend on her rostered day off!
We have started a new project for the area and I look forward to working with residents when we meet again soon. Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

🚨PREPARED FOR ANYTHING⛑️📋 Here at Neighbourhood Support we know first hand that connected and prepared communities fare better in emergencies and natural disasters than those without a plan.

For the month of October we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training and stocking up on essentials, to putting together a grab n’ go bag and working with your neighbours to create a neighbourhood emergency resilience plan - a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you and your community can get through any situation.

Joining or setting up a Neighbourhood Support group is a great way to keep in touch and work together to look out, reach out, and help out one another, no matter what life may bring.

And don’t forget! This month also coincides with New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, which will be taking place on Wednesday 21st October 2026, at 1:30pm (for more info head to getready.govt.nz/involved/shakeout)

Let us know how you’re getting prepared this month in the comments below 💬
