Civil Defence has advised those that have been affected by flooding to exercise caution when cleaning up their property. Flood water can contain hazardous bacteria that could lead to illness if proper hygiene is not adhered to. See the guide below to help keep you and your whānau safe:
Protecting your health in an emergency: Returning home after a flood.

Flooding in Napier has caused residents to be stranded in their homes, schools to close and landslip warnings after Napier's wettest day in 150 years.
2000 houses have now had their power restored overnight leaving 680 properties still without power this morning (Tuesday 10 November). A number of landslips are being assessed on Napier Hill and a rain watch is still needed on the area from 3pm Tuesday afternoon to 10am Wednesday morning.
What you need to know:
- Emergency services are encouraging people to stay with family and friends if they need to evacuate. Where no other options are available, residents can evacuate to Kennedy Park (11 Storkey St, Marewa).
- Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ), along with other agencies, are working to keep the community safe. Residents are urged to call 111 if they are feeling unsafe.
- FENZ says due to water contamination, residents should not drive in the flood waters and should stay indoors ensuring no food eaten has been in contact with flood waters due to the possible presence of sewage.
- MetService is also forecasting possible thunderstorms for northern Hawke’s Bay. Residents are urged to keep an eye on the news and expect delays if travelling.
Hawke’s Bay police area commander, Jeanette Park says residents in Marewa and Onekawa should stay inside until the flood waters receded, and all Napier residents who do not need to travel should stay home.
Police will continue today to work alongside the Hawke's Bay Civil Defence Emergency Management Group to ensure the community is kept safe at this time. Read further updates now.

New Zealand Police's Financial Intelligence Unit estimates New Zealanders lose $20-30 million annually to scams.
HOW TO AVOID A SCAM:
+ A genuine bank or organisation will never contact you to ask for your PIN, password or to move money to another account.
+ Never click on a link in an unexpected email or text – you could be giving access to your personal and financial details.
+ Always question uninvited approaches in case it is a scam. Instead, contact the company directly using a known email or phone number.
+ Don’t assume an email or phone call is authentic – just because someone knows your basic details (name and address, or mother’s maiden name) it doesn’t mean they are genuine.
+ Don’t be rushed into making a decision or financial transaction on the spot – a genuine bank or trusted organisation would never do this.
+ Listen to your instincts – if something feels wrong then it generally is.
If you believe you are the victim of a scam you can contact Police and report the matter via 105.

I caught up with Bailey for an episode of First Rung, our podcast for first time buyers. She ended up giving me a bit of a masterclass in tenacity and not giving up on your home owning dreams.
Find out how Bailey found her first home, and what it means to her after such a big let down.

She knows what she's talking about, too. Not only did she smash more than $90k of debt in three years, but in the year since she paid it off, she's saved enough, on top of her Kiwisaver, to pay the deposit on a home of her own.
It wasn't easy, and Tracy would be the first person to tell you that! But it is doable. Check out how, and have a listen to our episode of First Rung about Settlement day, on this link below. It includes some tips from Tracy on setting up a budget to manage your finance when you have a mortgage to pay.

I've always thought of reno blogging as a way to document a difficult process in a fun, relatable way. The benefit? Emotional support and maybe advice from folks following your journey - and maybe a little ego bump from showing off your mad wallpapering skills.

If you're lucky, and good, you might be given a couple of cans of paint from your local hardware store, to help you on the way - but that would be the icing on the tip of the social media cake.
Few of us would have the energy or knowhow to turn their reno into a part time side hustle that's both creatively fulfilling, and engaging.
But that's exactly what Moochstyle's Shayden and Georgia Whipps have done - with some pawsome help from their gorgeous dog Frankie. They've been blogging their Christchurch villa reno since they bought their home and Shayden shared their story with us for the final episode of First Rung, our podcast. A first time homeowner and renovator, Shayden is such an inspiring guy to chat with. He makes you want to jump in and give it go. Check out his story and let us know what you think.
