Exactly one week ago, Hannah climbed with her nine-month-old baby, three other children, six other adults, two dogs and a cat onto the roof of a Puketapu house, trying to escape rising flood water.
A pool cover sheltered them from the torrential rain, while the flooded Tutaekuri River was lapping at the gutter on the roof of their home.
Hannah and others made half a dozen calls to 111, and were told rescuers were on their way to save them. But nobody came. Hannah and her mother, Jo Cox, recount the story.
