Cyclone Gabrielle 2023: Regional recovery plan for Te Tai Tokerau Northland

This Regional Recovery Plan captures the key Recovery work needed in Te Tai Tokerau Northland due to Cyclone Gabrielle, and the subsequent rain and flood event at Mangawhai, which affected our region for two weeks in February 2023. This plan covers short, medium, and long-term actions that the District and Regional Councils will be taking, along with the rural sector and critical utilities.

However, while these are the larger and more public aspects of Recovery, civil defence in New Zealand involves everybody, from individuals to households, neighbours, suburbs, towns, marae, workplaces, and communities of interest. Recovery therefore also involves everyone. So, this Plan also offers snapshots of steps that people are taking across Te Tai Tokerau — practical actions to help each other to get through, small acts of kindness, community projects, ideas for future plans, and much, much more.
