Civil Defence Alert
UPDATE Sun Jan 29 19:49 Just received Emergency Alert on my phone. At least I now know my phone works to receive these. Surprised and concerned that none was sent out on Fri night.
-----------------------------------------
Did anyone receive any alerts? Got nothing on my phone or email. I am signed up for their emails and get their Emergency Management stuff regularly but nothing about the current flooding. Also have received phone alerts in the past, but nothing about the current situation. Am very concerned about this.
Poll: Is the increase in disability parking fines fair?
In October, the fine for parking in a designated mobility car park without a permit has jumped from $150 to $750—a 400% increase!
The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

89.1% Yes, it's fair

10.3% No, it's unreasonable

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
