How to spot a landslide before it happens - disaster expert

KEY POINTS:

Landslides can occur on most NZ slopes.

Be alert to:
- falling rocks
- small slips as they may precede a bigger slip
- any cracks or bulges in the ground
- doors/windows suddenly being harder to use because their frames have shifted.

"It's better to be safe than sorry," the expert said. If danger is sensed it is best to listen to that instinct.

Okay, hive mind…I need a little help! We need to replace our hardwired Nest Protects (smart smoke & CO detectors) in September because Google, in their infinite wisdom 🙄, decided to discontinue this truly top notch product just months before ours turn 10 and stop working. Aaargh!

Does anyone have a hardwired smoke/CO detector — smart or otherwise — that they would recommend?

Just realized that the surge protector I'm using for my office setup is actually 15+ years old. I had an "oh no" moment and immediately ordered another one.

Replace your surge protectors every 3-5 years, folks, especially if they're always in use. #HomeSafety #Safety
