The Opiki webcam has been in place for a few months now. This is the first time we've seen water across the floodway since it was installed. The image is updated regularly as an indication as to whether the road is flooded or not. We still refer people to the AA Roadwatch site for the official line as we are not the roading authority. I'll talk more later about what we are doing with webcams.
We had a bit of a busy day yesterday and although communities close to the ranges seemed to be hit the hardest some areas remain completely calm and clear. Storm damage to the Pohangina Valley and Kauwhatau areas and throughout Horowhenua district kept services busy and power will remain off for a few days yet in some areas.
The Horizons EOC operated well and was really only a small event for the EOC staff to manage. Systems and procedures worked well and a few minor improvements will be made. We will also be keen to pick up on any improvements recommended by the Horowhenua EOC staff who are still operational today.
