Kia Ora Koutou,
Are you Covid ready?
The Flood Recovery Navigators will now carry a Covid preparedness form when out seeing clients in the community. The preparedness form provides a means for individuals and families to check whether they are prepared and have everything they need if they were affected by Covid and needed to go into self-isolation.
This detailed assessment checklist helps people think about and consider things like childcare, food, hygiene, medication and medical conditions. Feel free to ask for a copy of the form if of interest.
