FLOOD WARNING SERVICEThe Waikato region has 20 large rivers and about 1400 small river

systems. Flooding frequently occurs due to steep headwaters and

high rainfall areas that drain into low gradient flood plains.

Waikato Regional Council provides a flood warning service for

landowners and communities potentially affected by floodwater.

The primary aim of this service is to provide sufficient warning so

people can take reasonable steps to protect themselves and their

property. The warning service is to supplement and not replace

expected vigilance and situational awareness required in flood

prone areas.

The council electronically monitors river levels to track how quickly

they react to weather events. When rivers reach a nominated level,

an SMS or email alert is sent to anyone in the area who has signed

up for alerts. Emergency services, including civil defence, are also

notified.

WHO SHOULD SUBSCRIBE TO THE FLOOD WARNING SERVICE?To find out if your property is flood prone, request to see your

property's land information memorandum (LIM) from your

local district or city council. This report will state any known

hazards affecting the property. Broadscale flood hazard maps are

also available on the Waikato Regional Council website,

www.waikatoregion.govt.nz/broadscalefloodinfo. These provide

an overview of the flood hazards for many water bodies and may

help you to identify potential flooding issues that require further

discussion and investigation.

SIGNING UP FOR THE FLOOD WARNING SERVICEEmail regional.hazards@waikatoregion.govt.nz to sign up for the

flood warning service or freecall 0800 800 401 and ask for the

senior emergency management officer (EMO).

RIVER LEVEL AND RAINFALL IN-FORMATIONThe Waikato Regional Council website provides additional data

and information on flood risks.

You can view the latest rainfall, river level and flow rates for your

area and use our interactive graphs to see current and past levels.

Updated situation reports also provide an overview of the region’s

river and rainfall levels. During a flood event, these reports are

produced more frequently to keep you up to date.
