National state of emergency: What you need to know<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • The New Zealand government has declared a National State of Emergency, to assist in the response to Cyclone Gabrielle.<\/li>\n
  • The declaration will apply to the six regions that have already declared a local State of Emergency: Northland, Auckland, Tair\u0101whiti, Bay of Plenty, Waikato, and Hawke’s Bay.<\/li>\n
  • A national state of emergency gives the national controller legal authority to apply further resources across the country and set priorities in support of a national level response.<\/li>\n
  • 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.<\/li>\n
  • Stay at home if it is safe to do so. But have an evacuation plan in case your home becomes unsafe to stay in.<\/li>\n
  • If you have evacuated, please stay where you are until you are given the all-clear to go home.<\/li>\n
  • People should stay up to date with the forecasts from MetService and continue to follow the advice of Civil Defence and emergency services.<\/li>\n
  • Do not try to walk, play, swim, or drive in floodwater: even water just 15 centimetres deep can sweep you off your feet, and half a metre of water will carry away most vehicles. Flood water is often contaminated and can make you sick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
