With SH 5 still a limited access option, John Garden (pictured) delivered scissors and sporting equipment that had been relinquished at screening in Auckland, to a teacher in Tauranga. Those items will be uplifted & distributed to various schools via the Principal's Association.

A school reached out to AvSec Auckland station business manager Chris McKechnie following Cyclone Gabrielle, noting that children at smaller Hawke's Bay and Napier schools had lost everything, and that for many schools, budgets would now be more constrained and realigned.

If you are flying out of @WLGAirport today please arrive with extra time to spare. The bad weather means all flights are currently departing from the North Pier. We are trying to screen passengers as efficiently as possible but there will be queues. 🌧️

When you're travelling internationally, items that can spill, smear, spread, or spray, must travel in check-in luggage if they exceed 100 ml or grams, including peanut butter, honey, Marmite, jam, and canned fish. ✈️🧳🥜🥜 https://t.co/bdT83CTg8s

“The general rule is if you can spill, smear, spread, or spray it, then the item will be measured against the 100 ml rule."
