Orange weather warning for Buller, Grey and Westland Districts

Heavy rain is forecast for Buller for the 37 hours from 12:00am Friday 10 October until 1:00 pm Saturday 11 October (low chance of upgrading to a red warning).

We want to reassure Buller residents we are closely monitoring the situation.

This is a good opportunity for all Buller residents to check their gutters and drains are clear and free from debris and leaves.

Farmers and those responsible for livestock are advised to monitor the situation closely and move stock to safety, away from low-lying areas if it’s safe to do so.

Anyone whitebaiting should take extra care, as river levels will be higher than usual and may rise without warning.

Further information is expected later today, and we will bring you updates where appropriate.
