104 Main St, Greytown (06) 304 7170 gency Management Advisor – Community Resilience and Recovery for Wellington Region Emergency Management Ofﬁce (WREMO).

“Although there are robust plans in place, immediately after a disaster ofﬁcial services may be stretched to the point where they must prioritise the most urgent callouts.

“We have seen this in recent events such as Cyclone Gabrielle and the ﬂooding around the North Island.

“We will all have to pitch in and help each other, at least for the ﬁrst seven days.

“Community Emergency Hubs are places where people in each neighbourhood can share ideas, skills, and resources to help each other following an emergency such as a major earthquake.

“The hub will be opened and run by people in the community, utilising the skills and resources that are already available,” Heather says.

WREMO provides a framework for the region’s emergency hubs, as well as supporting ongoing community response practices and preparedness events.

The next session in the northern suburbs is the Wadestown emergency response practice on Saturday 13 May. This will be held at the Wadestown Plunket Rooms, 117 Wadestown Road.

The Newlands emergency response practice will be held on Sunday 21 May. This will be held at the Newlands Primary School, 200 Newlands Road.

Although each hub in the northern and western suburbs of Wellington has a physical address, they are not reliant on the building.

If the disaster means the hub becomes unsuitable, people can move to a better venue.

As well as providing a known meeting place, each hub has a basic start-up kit consisting of an AM/FM radio, maps and a Civil Defence VHF radio that allows communication with the wider ofﬁcial response if phone lines are not working Community Hubs have four main aims: provide information so the community knows how to help each other and stay safe; understand what is happening; solve problems using what the community has available; and provide a safe gathering place where people can support each other.

We forget that freedom is not free, that the freedom we have is actually a privilege and blessing, paid for by others, not a right. ‘Lest we forget’ - we had better not. We remember, honour and are grateful beyond measure for the price paid for our freedom by those who have, are and will serve in our Armed Forces.

Skylight Specialists have been specialising in skylights for 25+ years. We have yet to come across a brand/make/type or conﬁguration of skylight that we do not know everything about.

Skylight Specialists is LBP (Government approved licensed building and roofing practitioners) , with 30+ years in the building industry and employ a highly skilled team which consists of trade qualified glaziers, roofers and builders. When we come and assess your skylight/s we will provide you with a free, no obligation quotation. We will also provide you with a detailed report including photos that will include our findings and recommendations whether it be for general maintenance, repairs or replacement.

At this time of year everyone is concerned about insulation of their homes, trying to keep warm and retain heat. Unfortunately, skylights are often overlooked, even when they can be sometimes the main factor of heat loss. Older skylights are sometimes full-time venting without the homeowner even being aware of this, which is no different from leaving a window open 24/7. Others are only single glazed or just plastic. By upgrading to double glazing you can retain up to 70% more of your heat. A lot of skylights we come across is simply a piece of glass glued to the roof structure of your home – This is by far inadequate for many reasons including thermal properties and condensation issues, as the moisture has no where to go but get absorbed by the structure of your home. We will assess the entire skylight including the flashings (roof flashings are what connects the skylight to your roof and keeps all watertight). This will cover if you have adequate condensation channels, drainage, seals, condition of flashings, thermal properties and of course longevity of the skylight/s and the surrounding areas.
