An Update from NorthPower
Northlanders urged to be prepared as Cyclone Dovi causes damage across Northland
As the wild weather continues, Northpower is urging people to be prepared for lengthy outages as its crews work to identify damage across the network, make lines safe and remedy the repairs. The damage is extensive, with more reports of damage and lines down coming in throughout the day and continued high winds causing further issues. Crews are patrolling lines to understand the extent of the damage. In many areas trees and vegetation will need to be removed before repairs can begin. Extra resources are being brought in to deal with this event.
Network General Manager Josie Boyd says “We ask that people are patient as our team work in very difficult conditions. We are working hard, but it would be prudent for people who are impacted to plan to have no power all of today and possibly into tomorrow. We will update our website with the latest information on individual outages as it comes to hand.” Mrs Boyd says that safety of our crews and the public are top priority, and the focus at the moment is on making sites safe (particularly where lines are down), prioritising repairs to bring power back on to larger areas and critical sites first.

He objects to Harris because she supports schemes such as health care and instead supports someone who thought drinking bleach was a cure for covid.
