Kia ora koutou, we are expecting some heavy rain around the region over the next couple of days, and we understand after #CycloneGabrielle people will be feeling anxious about this! Here is what we know:
The latest weather in Hawkes Bay:
🔶🌧️HEAVY RAIN WARNING🌧️🔶
MetService New Zealand has now issued a heavy rain warning for Hawkes Bay

Expected impact:
➡️Rivers and streams could rise rapidly.

➡️Driving conditions may be hazardous, avoid unnecessary travel.
⚠️ KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE FORECAST ON THE METSERVICE WEBSITE⚠️ www.metservice.com...
⚠️Please keep a close eye on rivers and take extreme caution around areas where rivers have cut a new channel or where stopbanks have been damaged.
⚠️Be aware that silt may become saturated, take caution around large deposits of silt which could shift or collapse.
⚠️There could be localised ponding, this is small areas of flooding due to rain, rather than rivers
WHAT TO DO: STAY SAFE, STAY INFORMED, HAVE A PLAN, ACT QUICKLY IF YOU SEE RISING WATER.
➡️ Be prepared, talk with your whānau or household about what you will do and where you will go if you need to evacuate.
➡️ Stay away from rivers and out of harms way.
➡️ Have a grab bag ready with supplies you will need if you have to leave home in a hurry.
➡️ Never try to walk, swim, or drive through flood water.
➡️ Check on your neighbours, vulnerable family members and anyone who might need your help.
➡️ Put safety first. Don’t take any chances. Act quickly if you see rising water. In an emergency, call 111.
