to all BR members in quake affected parts of Aotearoa, I hope you're safe, well, not to shaken up and have found refuge.
NZ pulling together in times of crisis is part of what makes Kiwis so great - I'm hoping that the BR babes out there are all okay

that was bloody scary alright! watching the news this morning to see the damage, good lord. poor hillary barry is practically in tears talking about a family who were robbed over night who only evactuated cos they have a disabled daughter - how freakin terrible. i can't believe some people.
hope all is okay in your neck of the woods trudi xx

didn't feel it at all Shaz so was horrified to wake up to a phone full of messages about it. I'm well aware of what a bad quake feels like and always feel slightly helpless hearing people down country deal with them. Genuinely hope everything is okay in the end.
I can't believe that story, it makes me sick.

I hope everyone is okay! My heart goes out to those who where affected last night. How insensitive and heartless of those people to rob that family during an emergency.
I woke up this morning completely oblivious to what had happened. It was only when I checked my phone and saw emails, text messages and WhatsApp messages from family & friends overseas, asking if we were okay, that I realised something huge had happened while we were sleeping. We didn't feel a thing up here in Whangaparaoa but there were reports of people feeling tremors or seeing the water moving in their swimming pools (in Auckland)!

I hope everyone is ok! Sending my love to all, our house rolled like we were on a boat, terrifying experience. Safe to say I made sure our emergency kit is up to date this morning....feeling for the families that have been directly hit by mother nature and the low life humans stealing from them :(
Stay safe every one xx

I was awake but felt nothing in Grey Lynn, I watched reports on geonet, once I saw the online paper, when it happened. There were "moderate+" quakes all over. I don't think those that were in them would think it's moderate.
I contacted my TL since I work in a call centre that deals with insurance, to see if I was needed back today, she is going to call me if it changes.
For those in the quake that don't know, take plenty of photos for home or contents insurance and if you think you are over the EQC cap, file a claim with your normal insurer and EQC. Some claims can be filled out online to start with rather than you waiting on the phone.
Those that haven't prepared, might want to start/increase your stockpiles and check your insurance cover is enough. If you don't have insurance it might be worth looking at.

I send my love out to everyone too and hope all the BR families are safe. I was awake at the time and definitely felt the quake here in Welly. Things fell over in the house but we're all ok and nothing got damaged. Did anyone read about the super moon we are expecting to get? Someone predicted we would get earthquakes as the moon being closer meant the moons gravitational pull was stronger and would cause the plates to shift.
The government website has a list http://getthru.govt.nz/how-to-get-ready/emergency-survival-items/
When I was working in security I got a staff discount on a quell basic kit similar to http://store.chubb.co.nz/16/specials so I picked up 4 of them one for the car and one in the home for myself and my brother, 2 each. There are firms out there that do kits for 4 people and stuff.
I also have a tent stashed with a camp stretcher for accomodation. I do need to replenish my canned goods collection and look at getting a mini stove, but if you have a bbq a gas stove can be skipped.

Im feeling the love Trudi <3
This is so devastating! I hope everyone is safe, there are a few ladies that live in Kaikoura that Ive been so worried about, Joni the lady behind Ro-Vie cosmetics and Victoria who Im not sure is on Beauty review.
Those scum bags that stole from those who evacuated left me speechless especially because I never thought it would happen in New Zealand, I hope they find out who they are and theyre punished severly for their actions.
Shaz its great you want to put together an emergency kit, a good start is to collect the basic things you need and then add extras as you go, torches, candles, batteries, containers of water, radio with batteries for news updates, food that can be stored eg tin cans of spaghetti and soup, extra medication if needed, first aid kit, a portable gas cooker, hand sanitiser, sanitary products, rubbish bags and spare buckets for rubbish or emergency toilet, baby wipes for alsorts, we also have a backpack with a few items, light wet weather gear, emergency blankets, torches with batteries, sweets and crackers, waterproof matches and a small first aid kit.
Natural disasters are so scary, I hope everyone out there is ok especially our BR babes <3

I read waterproof mascara instead of matches hahahahaha oh dear. Head in the clouds! I'll screen shot that and keep it on my phone so I can buy the things as they come along. I currently have a recharchable torch (one of those ones you pump and it goes) as well as water and a lighter.
I hope I never need it but it is a pretty smart thing to have!

It was terrifying here (I'm 25 mins north of Wellington) I couldn't sleep last night anyway so I was awake for the whole thing. Then there was the aftershocks and I am in a tsunami zone and it was unclear whether I should evacuate or not. I finally managed to get three hours sleep before my alarm went off then even more confusion as to whether school would be opened or not. Anyway, we opened and I had one kid at form time and only three in my scheduled class.
I'm going to have a cup of camomile tea and try and get my head down for a few hours. Hopefully we will have a quiet night although still feeling earthquakes this afternoon.
My mum said shethought there might be an earthquake last night due to the moon but there's no scientific proof to support that the moon affects seismic activity.

It was shaking like crazy here. My son lives in Chch and he was having a nerve wracking time at home on his own!
Yep, thieves enjoy opportunities such as this. After the February earthquake there was tons of burglaries. It's soul destroying, but there are always beautiful stories of the wonderful things good people do during those times.
Keep well to all of you in the worst affected places, I hope you are getting the support and help you need and deserve xxx
