## Resource

Heavy rain and snow are pounding Kaikōura and Hurunui, with a Red Heavy Rain Warning in effect—Waimate saw the worst overnight. Flood defenses are holding strong thanks to round-the-clock monitoring by agencies, while rivers like the Waihao and Saltwater Creek naturally opened up, easing pressure. Stay alert, avoid floodwaters, and heed official updates as teams keep a watchful eye on critical infrastructure.
