## Resource

A hiker got stranded on the Duke’s Nose track in Whangaroa after flash floods hit within minutes—water levels rose so fast she couldn’t cross back. Her partner had already made it across, but she was left stuck as multiple agencies including police, Coastguard, Fire and Emergency, and Far North SAR launched a dramatic hour-long rescue through rising waters. Found safe and unharmed at dusk, she was bundled up and moved to Lane Cove for extraction. The lead detective credited their training for handling the rapid flood response. A stark reminder: always plan ahead, check weather, pack smart, and tell someone your hiking route and expected return time.
