Through these tough times we have learned the true strength and resilience of our communities and have witnessed first hand the abundance of aroha in Aotearoa.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.

The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.

A woman has died trying to cross floodwaters as torrential rain caused slips, submerged roads, flooded homes and destroyed a bridge on the West Coast.

A state of emergency was declared for the Westland district on Tuesday evening after a day of torrential rain that destroyed the bridge across the Waiho River near Franz Josef on State Highway 6.

West Coast mayor Bruce Smith said Hokitika's stormwater system "couldn't cope" with a particularly large downpour about 2am. Two homes were flooded, along with several streets.

"To get all the rivers from Haast to Hokitika all in flood at the same time, I've never known that."
