So as I've mentioned before this is Rangitoto, it is a volcano and it is 4km from my house . Auckland is built on some 57 volcanoes and I have become rather alarmed at the frequency of the public service announcements warning us to be prepared. My question, what do they know we don't, what are they not telling us? The Herald has been asking if we are ready. The government campaign is called get through or getthru.
Their suggested emergency kit possibly leaves a few essentials off, but I'm no expert! We'll I am actually and I cant believe they have left Kendal mint cake out.
Getaway Kit
In some emergencies, such as a flood or volcanic eruption, you will need to evacuate and take your Getaway Kit with you. Don�t forget, you will also need to consider how you will care for your pets during an evacuation. Everyone in the house should have a Getaway Kit. This kit should include:
* Essential items from your Emergency Survival Kit
Family documents
* Birth and marriage certificates
* Drivers licenses and passports
* Financial information (insurance policies, mortgage information, etc)
* Family photos
Personal items
* Towels, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, toilet paper and sanitary items
* Hearing aids, glasses, mobility aids for elderly or vulnerable members of your house

Hi Johnathan, I must be watching the wrong TV channels, I haven't seen the commercials before- thanks for the link. I'm a fan of The Henry Rollins Show on Rialto Channel.
It really is one of those things that makes you say hmmm isn't it.
I need to restock our first aid kits and get new batteries. Marc Ellis already did a test run on the eruption part haha.
