Cyclone Gabrielle has caused devastation across New Zealand’s North Island. A national state of emergency has been declared, floods have trapped people on roofs and landslides have destroyed homes.
We would like to hear from you if you have been affected by the disaster, and are in a safe place to communicate. Please do not take any unnecessary risks in order to contact us. We would particularly like to hear from those who are in or in contact with those in the areas that appear worst-affected: Northland, Tolaga Bay, Gisborne/Tairāwhiti, west Auckland and Coromandel, but also those affected throughout the country.
