1/4 Many rivers are flooded, and water levels are high around the country. Stay safe - stay out of and away from all floodwaters, and if you have evacuated, please stay where you are until you are given the all-clear to go home.

1/4 With even more rain on the way for much of the North Island, now is the time to make sure you’re prepared. You may need to evacuate in hurry, so make sure you and your family know where your meeting place is and how you’ll get there.
