Storm update, the latest from Auckland Council
Around a quarter of properties in the Auckland region are without power this morning following last night’s storm.
120,000 properties are currently without power and power companies are working to restore this.
Auckland Council and partner agencies are prioritising making sites safe and securing damaged trees and debris to make it easier to restore power.
Residents should call 09 301 0101 to report trees down on public land and around the roading network. Care must be taken around downed power lines.
Auckland Emergency Management Director John Dragicevich says contractors have been out all night to remove trees that are impeding power restoration work.
“We are working quickly to determine the full extent of the damage from last night’s storm.
“We will be prioritising cleaning up trees that have damaged power lines and clearing the roads from any storm debris that will impede traffic flow.
“Emergency Services received over 1600 calls over night as a result of this event. If you or your property is at risk, call 111.
“Take extra care when travelling and drive to the conditions.”

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
