Can you ask around the wineries for 50l plastic barrels for drinking water? Need 10 at most. Ta.

Have emailed the wineries. When do you need them and where? I am coming down to Welly tomorrow night and if have anything can drop off

[Crasherfromwayback]

Any one we need. Prolly sunday morning. Ran into Ed the commercial manager. Said he'd take care of us. Good man. Ta.

Nice work Hans and crew!

And chlorine tablets?

Lets see your list, there's every chance this lot will have good ideas to add.

Waste disposal options? Sewage isn't working.

Awesome. Hold onto them if you can for the time being. We will need them in the Hutt on Saturday. Just let me know how many you get hold of. Thank You.

Water purification definitely. We'll post up a list after we have our meeting at 1800. Until then it's going to be a bit chaotic. Haven't had a decent chance to coordinate all day. Plus we're still all at work... You know the deal.

[Hans]

Until then:

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (RESPIRATORS, HELMETS ETC)
HAND TOOLS - SHOVELS, PICKS, HAMMERS, SAWS ETC
SOME FIRST AID KITS
THIS STUFF WILL BE REQUIRED IN THE HUTT BY THIS SATURDAY.


BIG THANKS TO ALL

SOME FIRST AID KITS

Do you have qualified medical people going?

If not I'd suggest keeping the kits simple and large.

[avgas]

Take cooking options - BBQ's, Gas, Cookers.....

Aye, 2 first aiders and a qual field medic(me). The kits will be simple and large anyway.

[Pussy]

You're a good bastard, Hans!
Much respect to you, mate!

Right, knowing fully well that I will look like a right arsehole:

5 of the 8 people who promised to take part yesterday, have called the whole thing off. Usual excuses, boss changed his mind, wife won't let me go etc. This includes the principal owner of the bus. So, unfortunately, it isn't happening. Trust me, I'm not happy about this, and I'm sorry for all of you, who've done their bit to help.
The only good thing to come out of this is about 2.5 tonnes of supplies that will make their way to PBT an CHCH respectively.

Once again, I'm sorry for making it look like I can pull this off when, in fact, I clearly can't. Looks like I'll have to rethink who my friends are.

Sorry folks.

Fella, don't be too hard on yourself, your effort has meant that 2.5 tonnes of supplies are on the way. That's commendable and not to be sniffed at.

I'm fucking frustrated that's all. Not just my effort either. The other two who were gonna go through with it helped too.

[AllanB]

Don't be too hard on yourself mate - it is shitty down here and I fully understand anyone with kids opting to keep out of town and the associated risks involved in any form of CBD help. Even many suburbs are severely affected.

100% credit to you for having a crack at it.
