## Resource

Kaikōura farmer Adam McManaway faces a nightmare milking season just eight days away—his farm is flooded, power and water are out, fences are gone, feed is gone, and half his fields are buried under silt and trees. With rivers bursting in three different spots and damage worse than most, he’s staring down a mountain of work. But the community’s rallying: council, neighbors, and local businesses are rolling in diggers and bulldozers to rebuild tracks, stock banks, and restore order—turning crisis into collective action.
