A significant storm event, followed by the arrival of tropical cyclone Cook, is highly likely to bring extreme weather – with significant rainfall and high winds – to the south eastern part of the Auckland region.
Communities in the Kawakawa Bay and Orere Point area, particularly those towards the Waiti Bay end of Kawakawa Bay Coast Road, are expected to again be isolated by road and without power or phone for a substantial amount of time.
Waiti Bay residents ONLY – Consider alternative accommodation
Auckland Civil Defence strongly recommends that residents in the Waiti Bay area look at alternative accommodation for the next few days and potentially for longer.
Should you choose to stay, you may be isolated for some time while power, phone and access is restored. Make sure you are prepared.
General advice
Never attempt to drive over slips and treat power lines as live at all times.
If there is an immediate risk to life or property contact the emergency services on 111.
Check on neighbours and family, especially if they are in at risk areas or might be affected by flooding or slips.
Move away from flooded areas and stay out of floodwaters.
Never try to walk, swim, or drive through floodwaters.
If you get stuck in a flood, get out of your car and move to higher ground immediately, taking great care in the floodwaters.
If driving at night, drive slowly, especially through flood-prone areas as you may encounter flooding at short notice.
Insurance: once the storm is over or it is safe to return home, contact your insurance company. If possible, take photos of damage.
Take good care of yourself: recovering from a major storm is a big job. It is tough on both your body and your spirit. Learn how to recognise and care for anxiety, stress and fatigue.
If you can’t live in your house due to flooding, slips, lack of access or extreme damage to you, try and stay with family or friends. If you can’t, Auckland Council may be able to assist, contact us on 0800 22 22 00 for further support.

I am selling my 2004 Mazda Verissa car. I've had it for three years and don't have any problems with it. The only reason why I'm selling it is because I am moving overseas. Nevertheless the selling price is $4000. Please let me know if you are interested.
Cheers.
Price: $4,000
