Flooding has been part of life in Papakura for generations — but being caught off guard doesn’t have to be.

In this episode of Tū Tika Tips, we break down simple, practical steps you can take to understand your flood risk and protect your whānau. We talk through:

• What flood plains, flood-prone areas, and overland flow paths actually mean
• Why you might be at risk even if you’ve never seen water on your street
• Easy prevention steps you can take around your home
• What renters should know
• The one safety rule you must never ignore during floods

We also explain how to use the Auckland Flood Viewer to check your address in just a few clicks.

Small awareness. Small changes. Big difference.
