What to do in a flooding emergency

If there is an immediate risk to life or property, call 111.

If you encounter floodwaters around Auckland, here are some tips to help keep you safe:

Call 111 if there is a risk to life or property.
Be prepared to evacuate quickly if it becomes necessary, follow your emergency plan, take your emergency bag and pets with you if it is safe to do so.
Surface flooding, restricted visibility and slips are possible during severe weather; avoid driving unless absolutely necessary.
Be aware that cars, caravans and tree branches float and can become flood debris that causes damage.
Do not try to walk or drive through floodwater. It may be contaminated and contain hidden objects that can hurt you.
Move valuable or dangerous items as high as you can off the floor or out of the flood zone.
