Auckland City Emergency Response.

Kudos to the Auckland Mayor Desley Simpson for fronting up and being the face of Auckland City during this time. Much better than the previous guy. She is leading the press releases, been on TV, radio, on line, even on the Council website video.

14th February - 10:45am Update: National State of Emergency
Minister for Emergency Management, Kieran McAnulty, has confirmed a National State of Emergency this morning due to the widespread damage across the country due to Cyclone Gabrielle.

While many regions have already declared a local state of emergency, a National State of Emergency gives the National Controller legal authority to apply resources across the country in support of a national level response.

Here's what you need to know:
- Heavy rain red warnings are in place for Northland and Hawke's Bay, with red strong wind warnings also for Northland, Coromandel and Taranaki. Check all weather warnings on the MetService website.
- States of emergency have been declared in Northland, Auckland, Tairāwhiti, Ōpōtiki, Thames-Coromandel District, Waikato District, Hauraki District, Whakatāne District, Bay of Plenty, Napier and Hastings.
- There has been a landslide in Murawai with one firefighter missing.
- Gisborne is feared cut off and the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula. Residents are to take note of the Welfare Centres for Gisborne and Coromandel.
- A number of road closures are in place across the North Island. View these on the Waka Kotahi NZTA website.
- Fire and Emergency is urging people to only call 111 if life or safety is at risk after a surge in calls.
- In Auckland there are 27 shelters and civil defence centres where people can go in an emergency.

Stuff are posting live updates and have shared what you need in your 3-day emergency kit. Stay up to date with Civil Defence updates and track the storm here.

2pm Update for Hawke's Bay:
Multiple evacuations needed in Puketapu, Esk Valley, Rissington, Omahu, Waiohiki, Jervoistown and Meeanee and Waipawa.
Many remain trapped in cars and houses. Several bridges have been taken out with access between Hastings and Napier now cutoff. More than 20,000 people are without power and cellphone communication in and out of the region is patchy.
Omahu residents needing shelter can go to Hastings Sports' Centre. Taradale residents can head to St Joseph's Māori Girls' School.

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all feeling safe and dry as this storm travels over us. Good chance to do some drawing. 😊
Just thought I would take a minute to let you all know that my art classes are beginning again for this term.
Students can start any time throughout the term. For ages 9 through to adults.
We are focusing on drawing and painting still-life this term, so a good challenge ahead.
I generally do a mix of tutor and student initiated learning throughout the year.
Our basic schedule for this year will be Term 1 - Still-life
Term 2 - Landscape
Term 3 - The face - human or animal
Term 4 - People in their environment
Check out our website www.vizart.co.nz... for details on course fees and times and look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers
