Severe weather impacts across the city

Kylie from Hutt Central

Kia ora everyone,

We have a number of severe weather impacts across the city. Wellington Region Emergency Management have provided an update:

- Stay indoors where possible and avoid unnecessary travel.
- If you need to travel this afternoon/evening, plan ahead as strong winds can make driving hazardous.
- Take special care on coastal roads as there may be debris.
- Severe wind gusts like these can damage trees, powerlines and unsecured structures and can cause threat to life from flying items and falling trees.
- Destructive winds can cause widespread damage including powerlines and roofs, with dangerous driving conditions and significant disruption to transport and power supply.
- Be ready for possible power and communication outages
- Secure any outdoor items if safe to do so, like wheelie bins, trampolines and outdoor furniture that may blow around.
- If can back up any data and keep your laptops and phones charged in case of power.
- Any travel that is necessary please allow for delays and plan accordingly.

For Hutt specific information, we are keeping the Hutt City Council Facebook page and website regularly updated.

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
