After having no occupants overnight we have closed the Civil Defence Evacuation centre at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church and relocated the team to other areas of the response. We have made preparations so that it can be reopened quickly if required. The community-led centre at Tirarau Street and the Dargaville High School hall have also closed, and staff have co-ordinated emergency accommodation for anyone who has not been able to return home.

• An information centre is open at the Council office, 32 Hokianga Road, 8.00 – 5.00pm both days on the weekend.
• The Council welfare assistance phone line is open and operating 24 hours on 09 439 1111, please call us if you need help. Our team will work with you.
• You may also be able to get a MSD Civil Defence Payment, call them direct on 0800 400 100.
