New Zealanders urged to trust 'danger sense' with flooding, tsunami
Photo: Iliesa Tora The National Emergency Management Agency is urging people to trust their sense of danger with signs of flooding and tsunami, instead of waiting for official warnings. NEMA is starting a campaign to encourage people to look for warning signs and act immediately to keep themselves safe. Director of civil defence emergency management John Price said localised flooding and local-source tsunami could develop in minutes. "There may not be time for an official warning to be sent. That's why it's important to know what natural warning signs to look for and to take immediate action when you see them." If floodwaters are rising around you, or there's a long or strong earthquake when you are near the coast, get to higher ground immediately, he said. The campaign didn't diminish the importance of emergency mobile alerts , along with radio, social media, or local civil defence emergency management channels. "This is just another tool to have in your own back pocket to use," Price told Morning Report . It can also free up first responders to help vulnerable people. "Often the authorities will alos be dealing with other incidents at the time because we quickly can become overwhelmed in New Zealand with some of these major events," Price said."

Jessie James Decker talks 'struggle' of being a working mom with 4 kids... after knockout bikini campaign
Jessie James Decker has struggled with mom guilt. The 37-year-old singer - who has Vivianne, 11, Eric Jr, nine, Forrest, seven, and Denver, 17 months, with her husband Eric Decker - has stepped back from touring in recent times in order to focus on her family life. Asked if she plans to tour again, Jessie said on Instagram: 'One day. I've struggled with the emotions of it all lately because I love touring and singing. That's what I've done my whole life, people forget but that's how I got started in this business. 'But I struggled this last time leaving the babies that I knew I needed to take a beat,' she added. Jessie is determined to be present for key milestones in the lives of her children. The music star - who has been married to Eric since 2013 - said: 'My kids need me. They're so little and I don't want to miss anything. I know the stage is always there for me when I'm ready again.' Earlier this year Daily Mail talked to Decker about her Cupshe collection. 'I'm excited for Kittenish to collaborate with Cupshe on this swimwear line,' the star shared. 'At Kittenish, we share the same vision—empowering women to feel confident, beautiful, and stylish without breaking the bank,' said Decker. 'We believe in creating pieces that celebrate every woman and every body, at any stage of life. 'For this collection, I drew inspiration from my travels to the Mediterranean—the vibrant colors, stunning prints, and effortless beauty of the coast. I can't wait for everyone to experience it.' The collection includes 31 women's pieces, such as bikinis, one-pieces, swim cover-ups, vacation dresses, and jumpsuits. For the first time, Cupshe and Kittenish are also introducing matching couples' styles, featuring five button-down tops and seven board shorts in complementary colors and prints that coordinate with the women's line. 'This exclusive swim and apparel collection brings together Cupshe's signature beach-ready style with the bold, feminine aesthetic of Decker's fashion and lifestyle brand, Kittenish,' the brand told 'The collection also marks a significant milestone for Cupshe, introducing the brand's first-ever matching couples' styles. 'Jessie is truly unstoppable—a mom of four, singer, songwriter, best-selling author, and founder—she does it all with passion and grace,' says Jessie Han, Senior Marketing Director at Cupshe. 'The Kissed by the Sun Collection celebrates our shared creativity, bringing warmth and confidence to every woman who wears it.' The Cupshe x Jessie James Decker with Kittenish Collection is available on and with prices ranging from $27.99 to $49.99 USD and sizes from XS to XL. The women's range will also be available in-store for a limited time at Kittenish locations in Nashville and Tampa. Campaign assets are available here. Founded in 2015, Cupshe is a lifestyle fashion brand dedicated to offering swimwear and apparel inspired by and created for the most vibrant, fun, and fearless women all over the world.

From packing cubes to multi-strap bras: the holiday hacks you swear by
It's high holiday season, and whether you're heading to the coast, a city or the hills, a bit of pre-trip prep can go a long way. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. To help you pack more thoughtfully, make the most of the beach, and stay sane on long journeys with small people, we've asked for your best holiday tips – and rounded up the best of our own, too. If you want to take more manageable luggage, two- (or even three-) in-one products are a godsend. Reader Carina suggests 'a decent multi-strap bra to cover all eventualities', such as this M&S Flexifit bra that can be worn three ways. Fashion editor Jess Cartner-Morley loves this swimsuit from John Lewis (now reduced to £27.50). 'The shoulder detailing and sturdy, non-transparent fabric make it perfect for wearing as a top, so it does double duty on holiday,' she suggested in her June style essentials. Fashion writer Peter Bevan selected these tailored swim shorts that could also pass as daywear for his 50 men's summer wardrobe updates. Shoes are tricky: you want something for every occasion, but don't want to bring seven pairs with you. So, you need a pair of catch-all shoes that are comfortable for walking but won't look out of place at dinner. Fashion writer Ellie Violet Bramley found just that for her roundup of the best summer shoes: these women's Keen sandals and these men's Chaco sandals. If you're in need of holiday outfit inspo, check out Jess's capsule holiday wardrobe. When it comes to beauty, travel minis will save suitcase space. Beauty writer Anita Bhagwandas picked her favourite Clinique travel moisturiser (currently on sale for £10) and two-in-one Bumble and Bumble dry shampoo and styling powder for her guide to the best travel toiletries. However, decanting your own products is far kinder to the planet (and cheaper, as you can use products you already own): she recommended these travel pots. Choose a lightweight, quick-drying hammam-style towel instead of a bulky beach towel, says Melanie Wilkinson in our summer style updates (she also found this cute coin purse key chain to carry loose change for emergency ice-creams). While reader Annie Jackson suggests packing baby powder: 'It works a treat for getting sand off your feet and hands.' Reader Shona recommends packing cubes: 'I organise my clothing by category in each cube so it's easy to find what I want without rummaging,' she says. She also advises noting what you did and didn't wear to inform your packing next time. If you're in need of some new luggage, look no further than Pete Wise's favourite budget pick from his test of the best suitcases and this genius Antler carry-on bag that Jess says has strangers stopping her in the street. Always check visa requirements before travelling: people from Europe heading to the UK now need to pay £16 for an ETA. Similarly, the US requires you to have an Esta even just for a layover. If you're planning on driving from the UK to Europe, here's everything you need to know. Learn a few basic words in the language – please, thank you, hello at least. Duolingo is a great free app to help you learn. Plus, make a list of everyone's must-do activities to ensure you don't miss anything. Never over-plan though – always leave space for spontaneity and rest (holidays are always more tiring than you think). Reader Jess Rogers has a tip for distracting kids on long journeys: 'Wrap up little inexpensive gifts from the charity shop and stagger them throughout the journey – or as a distraction to avoid a meltdown.' She also has a staycation hack: 'Find a new theme for every outing … how many birds/butterflies can you spot? Can you find a rainbow of flowers?' For more tips and tricks, check out our guide to surviving long journeys with kids. 'The only thing that gets me out of my tent': the camping essentials you need (and what you don't) The best kettles to save energy and speed up your cuppa, tested The best short shorts for men – and how to pull them off 'Astonishingly good value': the best supermarket tofu, tasted and rated Summer drinking should be just as special for the sober. Wine writer Sophia Longhi has been testing red, white, rose, bubbles and sparkling tea to bring you this selection of 28 genuinely delicious no- and low-alcohol wines. Her favourites include a French white that tastes like the real thing, a blanc de blancs fit for a celebration – and even a few decent red wines. Monica HorridgeDeputy editor, the Filter Keen to get out for a walk or bike ride but held back by a reluctant child? Parent of a toddler and lover of the outdoors Paddy Maddison gathered all the best tips from parents on how they manage to get outside with their little ones. Have you made an eco-friendly swap that's stuck? Maybe you found a microfibre cloth that transformed your skincare routine, plastic-free cleaning products that actually work, or a shopping tote that finally broke your addiction to plastic bags.
