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.

Did not think to post this until now - Duh!
My dog was severely mauled in Corbans Estate a month ago now and the recovery has been good but the costs of surgery and follow-up have been eye watering. I took out a high interest personal loan that I will find great difficulty in paying off so set up a give-a-little page. Vet costs have now consumed the whole $20,000 I borrowed but hopefully this is the last phase of recovery. I know times are tight for all of us but I am asking if you would please share my link on your social media s anyone I reach who is able to help would be fantastic. I know asking for help is a crowded field but this is the first time I have ever taken this step - I simply had to save my girl (as letting her go would have broken me) and that the problem is mine but needs must. Would do anything for her. The other dog owner is useless and did pay the initial deposit required for the vet to start. He has no money and it is in the hands of Animal Control now. Please share on your social media as some lovely people out there might be in a position to help.
