Auckland weather update #1
27 January 2023
Fire crews are responding to over 400 emergency calls in Auckland due to the weather.
Calls where people are in danger are being given priority. People are urged to only call 111 if life or safety is at risk because the volume of calls has been causing delays in answering them.
Every fire truck in Auckland is responding to the priority calls.
If water is entering property, people should do what they can to lift furniture and possessions, without putting themselves at risk.
Stay indoors if it is safe to do so and only travel if it is for an essential purpose.
