Last year, Auckland was shaken by a weather event on the city’s anniversary weekend that seemingly no one saw coming.
Four people lost their lives in the shock weather event, while countless other homes were flooded or destroyed, with those affected still picking up the pieces a year later.
Auckland Council and then-freshly elected mayor Wayne Brown came under fire for their handling of the crisis.
Now, NZ Herald deputy head of news Tom Dillane has revisited the events of January 27th 2023 to find out just how unprepared council authorities and emergency management teams were for this event.
He joins The Front Page to dig into the fresh revelations from this weather disaster.
