Supporting people as we recover and rebuild Right across the country the recent weather events have wreaked havoc on millions of lives. While there's a long road ahead for many New Zealanders, we will get through this, together. The weather has affected us here on the North Shore. There have been major impacts in our community. My office has been inundated with supporting constituents. I have seen - and several people have also approached my office about yellow and red stickered housing in our community. We've also seen incredible community spirit as well as countless acts of bravery and service by first responders, neighbours and friends, both in the Auckland floods, and again for Cyclone Gabrielle. I want to thank everyone who's given back to our community, be it through helping neighbours, or donating to community groups. And I want to give a big thanks to all who showed support and donations with the work that was carried out at Awataha Marae here on Auckland's North Shore. The Government is committed to doing whatever it takes to recover. We will continue to stand by New Zealanders and we will back communities as we rebuild. Labour NZ We've already taken significant steps towards this. We're providing an initial $50 million support package for businesses, farmers and growers for urgent work like clearing silt and repairing infrastructure. We're also injecting an extra $250 million for emergency works to help councils fix roads, get transport links back up and access into communities. We've put in place a new service, the NZ Claims Resolution Service, to assist homeowners with natural disaster insurance claims. People can access this service to support them if their insurance claims get stuck. There is a vast range of support to help those impacted by the weather events: Civil Defence Payments-help with emergency costs Back to work grants allocated by the Auckland Business Chamber Support for disabled people - the Community Support Package Community Providers supporting families and communities across Auckland.
