Cyclone Gabrielle

Our latest recovery response

Over the course of 12-13 February 2023, Wairarapa was struck by Cyclone Gabrielle, a tropical cyclone that caused widespread damate to regions across the North Island, with nine regional states of emergency.

Eastern and coastal communities in Wairarapa were hit, with some communities experiencing severe flooding and slips, stock losses, and damage to farm equipment, pastures and fencing. A number of famillies had to evacuate their homes, with some still unable to return.

A regional reponse to the cyclone saw councils, volunteers and a range of local organisations pull together to assist people and communities that were affected.
