NZ Prepares for Additional Rain and Winds Following Floods

A state of emergency is in effect for the Otorohanga district, where geotechnical teams are assessing road stability. As of Sunday, over 2,400 properties remain without power, and approximately 80 people have been evacuated. The worst weather is expected late Sunday, with conditions slowly improving on Monday.
