On 13 February 2022, Minister for Rural Communities, Damien O’Connor declared a medium-scale adverse event for the West Coast and top of the South Island regions. On 22 February 2022, this was extended to also include the Wairarapa and Taranaki regions, and Waitomo district.  There is also localised flooding and damage across other regions and districts.
