Rivers are running higher and faster than normal and we advise residents to stay away from them.
Take care on the roads – watch your travelling distances and keep speed down. Stay home if you don't have to travel.
We are expecting a king tide around midday which means the river mouths will take on a lot more water. Please STAY AWAY from these areas.
If you're in a flood prone area you should check your drains are clear and keep an eye on the situation.
Given the weather conditions, parents should consider meeting their children when school ends at 3pm.
We are continuing to see localised surface flooding across the district due to the heavy rain.
The Ōtaki Gorge Road has closed and the Akatarawa Road remains closed due to a slip on the Upper Hutt side.
Otaihanga Domain and Otaraua Park are closed.
