What users say:

"I was one of the [firefighters] that helped out in the initial response to the Chch Earthquakes and something like this back then would have been extremely helpful.
With the ways that weather and other events work around NZ, a thing like this can only make us all safer, I thank you all for making this a great safety tool.
Cheers,"
