Flooding 2023

The Auckland region has experienced widespread damage from flooding and torrential rain, with reports of slips and inundation. Infrastructure and emergency services alike have been overwhelmed by the impacts of the storm.

#CivilDefenceCentre’s are being stood up, there’s three active ones I know of

#WestAuckland - Leonard’s Road School
15 St. Leonard’s Road, Kelston

#NorthShore - North Shore Events Centre (Eventfinda Stadium)
17 Silverfield, Wairau Valley

#SouthAuckland - Manu Tukutuku
32 Riverton Drive, Randwick Park

If you can stay with friends or whānau, it’s recommended you try them first. But the shelters are open to everyone.

I'm damn near underwater over here.

Neighbours flooded out, rain still falling. Worried for those near the Whau River, as high tide is still a few hours away.

Loads of rain & flooding in West Auckland, but I'm home safe and dry. One advantage of living on a sloped section. #Auckland #WestAuckland #flood
