🌧️ In January 2023, Henderson was underwater.
On Auckland Anniversary Weekend 2023, a record-breaking downpour turned our neighbourhoods into rivers. Over 250mm of rain fell in a single day - the wettest in Auckland’s recorded history.
In Henderson, floodwaters surged through homes and streets by 5:30 pm. Cars floated, families were rescued, and children were pulled from a flooded Montessori centre. Over 120 people were saved across the region.
The toll was heavy:
🔹 Thousands displaced
🔹 Hundreds of homes damaged or red-stickered
🔹 NZ$2.2b in insured losses
🔹 Emergency reviews revealed critical gaps in our readiness
