Authorities have no idea how many people are currently homeless because of Auckland’s floods.<\/p>\n
There have been about 100 in evacuation centres this week, while 644 people had asked Auckland Emergency Management for help to find somewhere to live.<\/p>\n
Duty controller Rachel Kelleher said it was difficult to work out the total number out of their homes because a lot of people had made their own arrangements.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes people self evacuate – or people may evacuate with support and then leave an area quickly to go and stay with friends and family,” she said.<\/p>\n
So far, 204 homes have been red stickered, meaning no one was allowed in these, while 1027 have been yellow stickered, meaning these may be able to be partially occupied or need further assessment<\/p>\n
