Yesterday I rotated and refilled our family emergency kit with food and basic supplies. I plan to add to it a little at a time. I also wrote down the expiry dates so I can watch for those coming up and rotate them out before they expire. #BePrepared #NZCivilDefence

Related: the @nzcivildefence account on Twitter hasn't mentioned the test (so, by extension, hasn't been tooted here). Although their website does, as does their Facebook feed.

What an absolute clusterf*ck 🙄

I dip back into Twitter a few times a day. And yes. It's awful. And yes. It's where a lot of my pocket pals hang out. And yes, all the tropes on both sides are true.

But today there was a link to an NZ Civil Defense post about the emergency alert test on 28 May, but linking to their (NZCD) Facebook post - and omg, it's SO MUCH WORSE over there. I've probably not been into FB this year...

What an absolute trash fire of a place.
