Message From Auckland Emergency Management West Auckland’s bush, coast, and urban communities make it a special place to live, but this can bring challenges during severe weather and other emergencies. Daily life can be disrupted and communities can quickly become isolated. That’s why being prepared matters. Start with three simple steps: know your local hazards, make a household plan, and keep emergency supplies. Understand your local hazards Some of the hazards West Auckland faces include flooding, storms, landslides, coastal inundation, tsunami, wildfire, drought, and prolonged power outages. Low-lying areas are more at risk of flooding, while hill and coastal communities may face slips, erosion, road closures, and isolation.
