Flooding in Dunedin
Southern DHB has set up an emergency operations centre (EOC) in response to flooding in Dunedin.
The EOC is currently working to ensure staff are able to come into work and return home and the 4 wheel drive club will be available. Staff who have any issues getting to work or who have difficulties getting home should contact 4709910 ext 9910
Southern DHB is assisting a number of age residential care facilities in the city who are at risk of flooding and are currently trying to identify placement beds if required.
There is some flooding in the Lower Ground loading dock of Dunedin Hospital which is due to a city main being blocked, the DCC have been on site to assess repairs required.
There are leaks in various buildings of the Dunedin Hospital campus which are being repaired as soon as possible. This number of leaks are consistent with this level of rain, and all critical areas are functioning well.
