Can't get home Kāore e taea te hoki ki te kāinga

In an emergency, public transport may not run, and roads and neighbourhoods may be blocked off.

If you can’t take your normal route home, how will you get there? Who will you go with? Where will you meet if your street is a no-go zone?

Second meeting place

Agree on a meeting place if you can’t get home. It might be a school, a friend’s place or with whānau.

Travel together

If you work away from home, find workmates who live in your area. In an emergency you could travel together.

Pack a grab bag

Have a grab bag ready for everyone in your household. It should have warm clothes, a bottle of water, snacks, copies of important documents, and photo ID. Remember any medications you may need. Keep your first aid kit, torch, radio and batteries, mobility devices and any other essential supplies somewhere you can grab them in a hurry.

Work out what supplies you need

School pick up

Give your school or early childhood centre a list of three people who can pick the kids up if you can’t get there.
