Preparedness
Auckland residents Melissa and Joe
Heke demonstrated to a large audience at Onepoto School last

disaster.
Since receiving a wedding gift consisting of a
backpack filled with emergency items, the couple have
researched and refined their 72-hour emergency kits, adding
to the necessary items each time a child was born to their

items in the pack, which he says helped him find out what
works and how to make it better. Each of their three
children has their own backpack with some food items, warm
clothing and medical needs.
