Last weekend s floods have left up to 100 Westport homes red stickered meaning they have suffered severe or irreparable damage, while other houses have yellow stickers in their front windows indicating they suffered more moderate damage and are safe to reoccupy once they have been cleaned or repaired.
There are 28 soldiers on the ground to assist the Buller District Council and contractors in the clean-up.
