As Auckland prepares for a possible category three cyclone this Sunday 12 February, with wet weather and high winds forecast, we are asking residents to prepare, particularly in the areas where clean-up is underway after the recent flood.
Auckland Emergency Management are working closely with MetService New Zealand and tracking Cyclone Gabrielle, which is due to start impacting the upper North Island from Sunday.
We encourage our Tāmaki Makaurau whānau to use this time to get prepared.

We encourage our Tāmaki Makaurau whānau to use this time to get prepared.
With potential for heavy rain and strong winds, surface flooding and slips are possible and strong wind gusts could damage trees, powerlines and unsecured structures.
How to get prepared:
1. Stay up to date with the latest weather warnings from MetService: www.metservice.com...
2. Make a household plan that includes your pets, in case you need to evacuate.
3. Have a grab bag with essential items ready to go.
4. Be prepared for possible power outages and check emergency supplies. In a storm you could be stuck at home for up to three days.
5. Clear debris and leaves from drains and gutters to help prevent surface flooding.
6. Secure items like wheelie bins, trampolines, outdoor furniture, boats and trailers. Bring items inside or tie items down that could move in strong winds.
7. Check on your friends, whānau, neighbours and anyone who might need your help, especially those who have already been affected by recent flooding.

So we’ve created Flooded with Love - a space to recognise our people: those who helped with the clean up, rescued a pet (or a neighbour), pushed cars out of water, directed traffic, loaned out equipment, shared shelter, or simply stopped for a supportive chat or a cup of tea.
Help us tell these stories and recognise the goodness that exists in our communities.

Yoga is so much more than trying to touch your toes. It's a way to move, to breathe and to take time out for yourself.
My name is Claire and I run a weekly community yoga group that is great for people with no experience, beginners or anyone with a regular practice.
At the start of term, there are always a lot of people trying yoga for the first time so you will be in a great supportive environment.

• Term starts Thursday 2nd February
• Class starts at 7:00pm and finished at 8:15pm
• Arrive 10-15 mins early to sign up and settle in.
