Nelson Tasman floods: Civil Defence to assess damage to homes, residents' welfare needs
Live - Nelson Tasman Civil Defence will today focus on
assessing damage
to homes, and looking at the longer-term welfare needs of flood-affected residents.
The region has suffered significant damage from heavy rain in the past fortnight, including flooding, slips, power outages, road closures, and property losses.
Civil Defence group controller James Thompson said building inspectors would be assessing properties on Sunday and marking those with water damage.
The Motueka Recreation Centre at 40 Old Wharf Road would be open from 10am for people to chat with agencies about their welfare needs, he said.
People needing free meals can get them from Te Maatu wharenui at Motueka High School, from midday until 5pm on Sunday.
