From Morning Report, 8:19 am on 9 March 2023

People in a remote East Coast town are growing worried as winter nears, with dozens of whānau living in cyclone-damaged homes. 

Ūawa, or Tolaga Bay, was hit by both Cyclone Hale and Gabrielle.

It's also dealing with mountains of slash that rush down waterways every time it rains.
