'We have more adverse weather coming and we need to prepare for that,' Auckland Emergency Management duty controller Rachel Kelleher says.
WELLINGTON, New Zealand – Flood-ravaged Auckland is forecast to receive further heavy rain in the coming days, authorities in New Zealand’s largest city said on Monday, January 30, as insurers counted the costs of what looks likely to be the country’s most expensive weather event ever.
Beaches around the city of 1.6 million are closed and all Auckland schools will remain closed until February 7. Fire and Emergency services received 30 callouts overnight Monday, including responding to a landslide when a carport slid down a hill. The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research said Auckland has already recorded more than eight times its average January rainfall and 40% of its annual average rainfall.The cost of the clean up is expected to top the NZ$97 million bill for flooding on the West Coast in 2021 but will not be anywhere near as expensive as the estimated NZ$31 billion insured costs of two major earthquakes in Christchurch in 2010-2011, said Insurance Council of New Zealand spokesperson Christian Judge.
