Queenstown Lakes District has experienced significant rainfall over the past 24 hours, and our lake and river levels are now high and will remain elevated for the next few days.

Further heavy rain is forecast between midnight and 2.00pm Thursday 23 October, which may cause surface flooding, rising streams, and fast-flowing rivers - especially near alpine catchments.

Please take care around waterways, avoid unnecessary travel in heavy rain, and never drive or walk through floodwaters.

Our Emergency Operations Centre is in monitoring mode and working closely with Otago Civil Defence and Emergency Management and the Otago Regional Council.

Useful resources can be found in our comments below. Be prepared, stay alert, and look out for your neighbours! ❤️

NZ Civil Defence are testing the Emergency Mobile Alert (EMA) system on Sunday 25 May, between 6-7pm ⚠️📲

If you have a hidden second phone for your safety, we recommend turning it off or putting it in flight mode for the duration of the test (6-7pm on Sunday 25 May) to ensure it’s not discovered when the nationwide Emergency Mobile Alert is sent.

Some mobile devices set to silent mode will still emit a sound when the Emergency Mobile Alert test is sent, so switching to flight mode or turning off your device is the only way to avoid the loud sound of the alert.

You can find more information about the Emergency Mobile Alert system, including a factsheet and list of FAQs at https://getready.govt.nz/prepared/ema

everyone. OTAGO GETS READY DATABASE UPDATE - I have just found that the database that gives us emergency alerts has been updated.
If you have not yet joined please do so as you can get direct emergency alerts that only pertain to Otago.
If you have joined in the past please log in (and you'll get sent a verification code) and check all the details are still correct.

We use the information on what skills and resources you have to help in an emergency so it's really important.

thank you 🙂
