PM urges Aucklanders to support each other amid catastrophic floods

Flights at Auckland Airport have been delayed, cancelled or rescheduled and won't resume before noon on Saturday. Auckland Airport said it would be working with borders agencies to help those travellers through formal border processing formalities before they could depart. "Those who are displaced or need assistance can access the centre via the main entrance at Gate 1," Auckland Emergency Management said in a statement. I did so immediately after receiving advice from the Auckland Emergency Management duty controller that this step should be taken," he told reporters. Brown said he has "been in my office this whole evening and have been receiving constant updates on the situation from Auckland Emergency Management".
