With only 3 days to go until our national earthquake drill and tsunami hīkoi, New Zealand ShakeOut has over 700,000 participants!

We are stoked to see how excited all of you are to practice Drop, Cover and Holding with the rest of the country on October 16th!

Practising means we are more likely to take the right action when an earthquake happens. ShakeOut lets us practise with 700,000 other people around the country!

Just Drop, Cover and Hold for 30-60 seconds. Then practise your tsunami hīkoi (evacuation walk) if you're in a tsunami evacuation zone.

If you haven't signed up yet there's still time for you to sign up, participate, and go in the draw to win some great prizes! Sign up at getready.govt.nz/nzshakeout

Experiencing grief is like being part of a club you never signed up for. 'What the Grief' is a real, honest conversation about all of it. It's about meaning, memory, and hope. Grief - let's not make it weird.
