🌧️ How were things at your place? 🌧️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We hope you are all staying safe and dry today. We know that many in our community have had a difficult few days. Some of us are still dealing with the after-effects, whether it’s clearing debris, managing without power, or just catching our breath after a bit of an ordeal.

📸 If you’re up for it and in a position to do so, we’d love for you to share any photos or videos of the storm at your place 📸

Whether it’s a shot of the wild weather in action, the aftermath in your garden, or even how you stayed cozy and occupied during the peak of it.

Our thoughts are with those who are still working through repairs or facing challenges today. If you need a hand with any clean-up or local information, don't hesitate to share this below.

Put safety first. Act quickly if you see rising water

The Team from NZ Civil Defence

As Cyclone Vaianu continues to move south, it is forecast to bring extremely strong winds, heavy rain and large swells to large parts of New Zealand over the weekend.

This storm has the potential to be a significant and damaging event. We know this will be unwelcome news for communities that have recently been affected by severe weather and are still recovering.

More rain falling on ground that’s already saturated, means impacts like fallen trees, landslides, flooding and dangerous river conditions are more likely.

Please stay safe in severe weather. If life, health or property is in danger, call 111 immediately.

During a storm, stay inside. Don't walk around outside. Don't drive unless necessary. Strong winds can fell trees and poles, tear off roofs, and cause branches and debris to fly at high speed.

Put safety first. Don’t take any chances. Act quickly if you see rising water. 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 try to walk, play, swim, or drive in floodwater.

If you see a landslide, move out of its path and stay away from it. It is important to recognise the warning signs and act quickly.

When it is safe to do so, check on your neighbours and anyone who might need your help.
