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.
