Auckland tornado: Where to get help, how to claim insurance
Kia ora neighbours,
More than 1200 properties have been affected by a tornado that ripped through Papatoetoe, in south Auckland on Saturday.
Contractor Janesh Prasad, a diesel mechanic for a forklift business who was working at the South Auckland Freight Hub in Wiri, was killed during the freak event. Donations through a Givealittle page for Prasad's family have surpassed $48,000.
Another two people were injured in the tornado, while others have had to access emergency accommodation because their homes were left uninhabitable. The Government has pledged $100,000 towards a relief fund to help those impacted, and Civil Defence payments are available for those in need.
