Floods
- Flooding in the Wellington region
-
Floods can occur along rivers, coasts or near stormwater networks in urban areas. River flooding generally occurs when high rainfall causes a river channel to become completely full and overflow onto nearby land.
- Big floods in the Wellington region
-
The Wellington region is home to a number of large river systems that have a long history of flooding.
- Responding to a flood
-
Greater Wellington Flood Protection has procedures for responding to situations when a flood might occur.
- How do we manage the risk of flooding?
-
Many of the region's floodplains are highly developed, which means a lot of people live there, with houses, buildings, roads and other assets close to a river.
