The Auckland Council has rolled out a campaign via its libraries to educate the public on flood resilience.

It is providing resource material in several languages to help residents prepare for, and reduce the effects of future flooding events.

This follows the devastation of the 2023 Auckland Anniversary weekend's catastrophic floods, which claimed four lives and caused widespread destruction and property damage.

Craig McIlroy is Auckland Council's Healthy Waters General Manager.

He says the campaign is aimed at reaching as many people and communities as possible.
