Taskforce Kiwi is monitoring the Heavy Swell Warning that is currently in place for areas across Wellington and Wairarapa.
Combined waves of up to 9.5 to 10.5 metres are predicted over the next 24 hours, and a state of emergency has been declared for Wellington's Southern and Eastern wards. Mandatory evacuation orders are currently in place for waterfront properties in Åwhiro Bay, Island Bay, Houghton Bay and Breaker Bay.
Taskforce Kiwi will monitor the impact and engage with authorities and local communities if required as the situation unfolds. For up to date information, warnings and advice, please visit the website of the Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (WREMO): https://www.wremo.nz/

Taskforce Kiwi volunteers have now completed over 20,000 hours of disaster relief operations, less than four years since our first deployment.
Behind every hour is a story of service, with volunteers putting their lives on hold to roll up their sleeves in support of those they've never met. It also highlights the sacrifice of family and loved ones, providing the support that our volunteers need to grab their gear and get on the ground when the call goes out.
Over 7,000 of those hours have taken place over the last twelve months, as TFK volunteers continue to step up as the number of severe weather events and disasters increase, both at home and abroad. Taskforce Kiwi has no employees, and no one has ever been paid a cent for their efforts. Those 20,000 hours don't include the countless hours in the background outside of operations, doing the mahi that allows us to get our people on the ground when the time comes.
Communities need more skilled and organised support than ever, and it's time to do things differently. To find out more, to join us, or to support our work, head to www.taskforcekiwi.org
Taskforce Kiwi was recently featured on Seven Sharp, highlighting the flood relief work carried out by our volunteers across Wellington.
The crew spoke to volunteers and impacted residents as our team got stuck into their work, providing direct assistance to those whose homes and livelihoods were affected by the flooding that hit the city on the 20th of April.
Thank you to Seven Sharp and TVNZ+ for featuring our team and their work!
