Auckland tornado: Where to get help, how to claim insurance

Reporter Reporter from Manukau Courier

Kia ora neighbours,

More than 1200 properties have been affected by a tornado that ripped through Papatoetoe, in south Auckland on Saturday.

Contractor Janesh Prasad, a diesel mechanic for a forklift business who was working at the South Auckland Freight Hub in Wiri, was killed during the freak event. Donations through a Givealittle page for Prasad's family have surpassed $48,000.

Another two people were injured in the tornado, while others have had to access emergency accommodation because their homes were left uninhabitable. The Government has pledged $100,000 towards a relief fund to help those impacted, and Civil Defence payments are available for those in need.

If you have been impacted by the tornado, need to make an insurance claim, or are wondering what support is available to you, click through these links.
