Response praised after Canterbury floods
SHARE
The Minister for Emergency Management and Recovery has commended the community’s swift response to the recent severe weather conditions that have affected various regions in New Zealand.

Christchurch and Banks Peninsula are still under a state of emergency due to heavy rainfall in the Canterbury region. Additionally, parts of Wellington, Wairarapa, and ManawatÅ« are facing power outages following a rare “threat to life” warning due to strong winds.

Mark Mitchell, the Minister for Emergency Management and Recovery, emphasized the importance of a collective response from the entire community to weather-related challenges. He noted that weather events are becoming more intense and severe, requiring a coordinated effort from all levels of government and first responders.

Despite the challenges, Mitchell acknowledged the effective communication and response efforts in Canterbury, where Civil Defence teams acted promptly to address residents’ needs. The local state of emergency in Selwyn has been lifted, with the focus now shifting to managing surface flooding.

Power companies are working tirelessly to restore electricity to affected households, while a new Emergency Management Bill is in the works to enhance emergency response protocols.

Resumption of Ferry Services

The Interislander ferry Aratere resumed operations, marking the return of Cook Strait ferries from Wellington to Picton. Additional sailings have been scheduled by both Interislander and Bluebridge to accommodate passengers affected by the disruptions caused by the recent storm.

Interislander and Bluebridge have added extra sailings to their timetables to cater to the increased demand for ferry services following the weather-related disruptions.

Despite the challenges posed by the severe weather conditions, the community’s resilience and collaborative efforts have been instrumental in managing the impact of the adverse weather events across the affected regions.
