Weather settles as efforts to re-connect flood-hit communities goes on

Photo: RNZ / Anan Zaki As the sun shines today after weekend floods devastated the region, Waka Kotahi is urging motorists to drive with care on some re-opened roads, with many having lane restrictions or lower speed limits. Several state highways in the South Island remained closed after the weekend s flooding. State Highway 65 from O Sullivans Bridge to Springs Junction and SH6 between Murchison and Nelson was reopened this morning, following the reopening of SH6 between Nelson and Blenheim yesterday. But SH6 Murchison to Inangahua remained closed and SH63 from Renwick to Tophouse was also closed. It may take months to fully fix Queen Charlotte Drive, the scenic road between Picton and Havelock in the Marlborough Sounds.

West Coast floods: Two hundred homes in Westport likely uninhabitable

Buller mayor Jamie Cleine previously told Stuff the town had long been dealing with a lack of available rental properties or houses for purchase which meant there were few homes available for flooded residents. Peter Meecham/Stuff Trade Me had one rental listed in the entire Buller district on Saturday. Cleine said with “next to no available rentals” already, the concerns now were about finding somewhere for displaced families to live either medium or long-term while houses were repaired or rebuilt. O’Connor said this was the biggest flood event he had seen in Westport over his lifetime, saying it was a one in 100 year event.

West Coast flooding: What you need to know about road closures, water safety, welfare centres

Follow all instructions from emergency personnel Listen to local radio stations Check on your neighbours and help anyone who might need assistance. If life is in danger call 111. Stay off the roads and avoid flooded areas. Water notices Wash your hands thoroughly or use hand gel after coming into contact with flood water. If your clothes are wet with flood water please put them aside to wash later on (when water does not need to be conserved). Water conservation notices are in place for Westport, Carters Beach, and Punakaiki. Use water sparingly by keeping showers short and minimising the use of toilets, washing machines and dishwashers – all of which add load to the town sewerage system.
