Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown ends local state of emergency

Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown has ended the local state of emergency two days after it was declared. 

On Thursday morning, Brown said no weather watches or warnings were in place over the supercity, but warned some "some squally showers and thunderstorms across the region" could be seen throughout the day.

"These will come in short bursts and may bring more lightning, strong wind gusts and a low risk of hail."

In a statement, Brown acknowledged the effort of those who contributed to the city's emergency response.

"Everything that could be done was done, or otherwise ready to go," he said.

"Once again, we saw a fantastic community-led response and our elected members were hard at work on the ground."

Brown did say there is always room for improvement, and his council "will continue to learn the lessons from these severe weather events".

He added Auckland Emergency Management (AEM) and Auckland Council staff will continue to work with residents affected by the recent weather event.

"Including welfare and the removal of flood-damaged goods. More than 95 percent of building inspections have been completed.

Mayor Brown encouraged residents to stay up to date with MetService forecasts and "take care on the roads".

"Call 111 if your life or property is in danger. To report blocked stormwater drains, call Auckland Council on 09 301 0101."
