New Zealand's prime minister says the country needs to rebuild with more resilient infrastructure to cope with more frequent and intense weather events.
A large slip in the Taurau Valley near Gisborne from Cyclone Gabrielle, Saturday, Feb. 18, 2023. Cyclone Gabrielle struck the country's north on Feb. 13 and the level of damage has been compared to Cyclone Bola in 1988. That storm was the most destructive on record to hit the nation of 5 million people.
The cyclone followed another storm two weeks earlier that swamped New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland, and killed four people. The number of weather events that require emergency road work more than doubled from an average of 67 a year between 2018 and 2021 to 140 a year, Hipkins said. He added that New Zealand was “without question” experiencing the effects of climate change and extreme weather events were becoming more common and more intense.
