PRECAUTIONARY EVACUATION ADVISED FOR SPRING CREEK TOMORROW (FRIDAY) MORNING

An Orange Heavy Rain Warning was issued by MetService New Zealand earlier today for Marlborough, running from 9am Thursday 26 June to 6pm Friday 27 June.

The region is expecting significant rainfall especially about the ranges. Peak rates of 20 to 30 mm/h or more, expected from Thursday late afternoon. There is still uncertainty about the duration of this event and a moderate chance of it being upgraded to a Red Warning. Streams and rivers may rise rapidly. Surface flooding, slips, and difficult driving conditions are likely.

Marlborough Emergency Management Controller Richard MacNamara said it was a dynamic event.

“All of Marlborough’s emergency and lifelines agencies are up to speed and our response teams are ready to go.”

“While the rain forecast remains somewhat uncertain, the weather system does have the potential to stall and deliver additional rainfall on Friday.”

“With the Wairau River stop bank at Spring Creek in a compromised state, we are taking the precaution of advising residents of Spring Creek township to plan to evacuate their homes by 9am Friday, tomorrow morning. They can leave this evening if they wish but the key time when the river may be running high is from early tomorrow morning.”

“Spring Creek residents are asked to stay with family or friends - have a grab bag ready and take pets and prescription medications with them.”

A Civil Defence Centre providing community support and information will open at Stadium 2000 in Blenheim from 9am tomorrow. Tuamātene Marae at 2518 State Highway 1, Grovetown will also be open at 7am tomorrow, where hot drinks and kai will be available.

The affected streets in Spring Creek are Dodson, Hathaway and March streets, and part of Ferry Road. Further updates will be provided, primarily through Marlborough District Council’s page and the Antenno alerting app.
