North Island Flood Alert

Kiwi Kids News

 

 

Alert!

 

 There was a terrible flooding that affected the North Island at night. The cause of this problem was the heavy rain that was there a few weeks ago. Emergency evacuation centres had to be set up at the Coromandel (because it was really bad). Water waste and water supplies have been affected. They are trying to save water by not flushing toilets (if they can't help it) in Tairua, Pauanui, Onemana and Whangamata.
