Today marks the 2nd anniversary of the Kaikoura magnitude 7.8 earthquake.
The quake occurred just after midnight and resulted in the deaths of two people. It caused widespread damage and isolated communities around Kaikoura.

The earthquake occurred on multiple fault lines and is one of the most complex earthquakes that has ever been recorded.

A sombre reminder that disasters can strike at any time, and it pays to be prepared

Are meth users reincarnated at methylated spirits then?

Our team are often quite busy out and about in the community.

One of the engagements this week included the Milford staff “Start of Season” Induction.

This induction was an opportunity for all the companies operating in Milford to introduce themselves and to highlight some safety topics.
Some great discussions we had were around understanding the natural hazards in Milford and how to respond appropriately. The evening was well received and it was great for us to touch base with the people and organisations operating out of Milford this season.
