The MetService RED WARNING for HEAVY RAIN for Canterbury is still in place. Officials are urging people to stay home and keep off the roads amid heavy flooding.
Floods and flash floods can happen quickly. If you see rising water do not wait for official warnings. Head for higher ground and stay away from floodwater.
DO NOT TRAVEL IN FLOODED AREAS unless absolutely necessary. Never try to walk, swim or drive through flood water. Many flood fatalities are caused by people attempting to drive through water.
If water enters your home, turn off the electricity to avoid short-circuits sparking a fire.
Check on your neighbours and help anyone who might need assistance if it is safe to do so.
If someone’s life, health or property is in danger, call 111.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
