Emergency Management Minister Kieran McAnulty said the cyclone could bring further rain and strong winds to New Zealand.

Weather foretellers say the rainfall in the Upper South Island could worsen as the cyclone continues.

Coastal agreements have been vacated. residers of near areas are being asked to leave their homes and go to safe harbors as the swash overflows. Roads are closed. Mobile phone service is disintegrated. Some metropolises are insulated.

Hipkins said it wasn't incontinently possible to say how numerous people were displaced or injured. No deaths have been reported so far.

A brief session of Parliament will be held on Tuesday autumn to bandy the cyclone situation. After that the session will be suspended till February 21.
