NZ Authorities Urge ‘Very Vulnerable’ City To Prepare For Second Big Deluge
Auckland: Late yesterday, officials have this afternoon upgraded a rainfall warning to red for parts of Auckland, Coromandel and Northland from tomorrow, as Mayor Wayne Brown urges authorities to consider closing schools.
A red warning means rain is expected to cause dangerous river conditions and significant flooding. Slips and floodwaters are likely to disrupt travel, making some roads impassable and possibly isolating communities.
The red warning is now in place for Auckland north of Orewa from 5pm tomorrow to 5am Wednesday; for Northland from 4am tomorrow to 4pm Wednesday and for the Coromandel from midnight tomorrow night for 18 hours. An orange warning is in place for the rest of Auckland from 6pm tomorrow to 6am Wednesday and for Bay of Plenty from 6am Wednesday to 3am Thursday.
