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.

There are weather warnings in place for Northland, Auckland including Great Barrier Island, Coromandel and Bay of Plenty.
Experts say the cyclone is said to be one of the worst storms expected to hit this century and has now intensified into a "severe category three".
Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown urged Aucklanders last week to prepare for the next big weather event, bringing torrential rain and risk of flooding.
"The direct path of Cyclone Gabrielle is uncertain at this stage, and while we are hoping for the best, we must all be prepared for the worst," Mayor Brown said.
Auckland Emergency Management's Deputy Controller Rachel Kelleher said her team is working with the Mayor's Office and Auckland council to ensure the region is prepared for what Cyclone Gabrielle could bring.
"Our key message for the community is to use the next few days to get ready for what could be another significant event," she said.
Kelleher said Auckland Emergency Management is preparing to open a number of additional Civil Defence Centres across the region for people needing to evacuate.
FENZ Auckland City District manager Vaughan Mackereth's told AM's Ryan Bridge on Friday morning that if you are in your home and see flood waters enter your property to call Civil Defence and report that your property is flooding as soon as possible.
"If your life is in danger, or there is a landslide happening on your property or above you, call 111," he said.
Mackereth also reminded people to stay off the roads, as it reduces the risk of being trapped by flooding or hit by a falling tree.
With a new cyclone on the way, emergency flooding is a serious possibility for anyone no matter the circumstances.
The best way to stay safe during flooding is to be prepared on what you should be doing if it happens in your household, how to keep safe, and where to go during the crisis.
=================================================
Here's a guide on what to do when your house begins to flood:
=================================================
Rising Floodwaters
================
Put safety first, don't do anything reckless or dangerous
Act quickly, and grab important emergency items
Listen to emergency services and local Civil Defence authorities
Self-evacuate if you feel unsafe
Lift curtains, rugs and bedding off the floor
Check on neighbours if it is safe to do so
Home Evacuation
===============
Once people in your household have safely evacuated the premises, call for help.
Your focus during an evacuation should be on you and your loved ones rather than the damage to the house
Turn all electricity and power off
Ensure that no one is still inside when evacuating the property
If anyone is injured or needs help, call 111 to get the recovery process underway
Keep up to date with evacuation sites on Auckland Emergency Management.
What to take with you
==================
A bag to put items in
Phone + Phone Charger
Non Perishable food
Warm clothing
A pair of shoes
Rain Jacket
Bottle of water
Other people from your household
Any important medication
Baby/Pet food
Note: You may want to have this bag already prepared ahead of time
=======================
Moving through Floodwaters
=======================
Never try to walk, swim or drive through floodwater. Many flood fatalities are caused by people attempting to drive through water.
Don't drive through floodwaters
Be cautious of hidden objects if walking through floodwaters
Don't swim as there are potential health risks linked with contaminated water
If possible, stay inside until it is safe to leave
Who to contact
=============
111 Police, Fire and Ambulance
Phone 0800 22 22 00 for urgent flooding issues and assistance.
105 for non-emergencies
=====================================================
It is important to keep up to date with the latest on Cyclone Gabrielle through MetService forecasts as parts or all of these Watches may be upgraded to Warnings, and further areas will likely be added.
