We’re a few weeks on from February’s severe weather event, and there are people who continue to have ongoing impacts.

We’re working with Wairarapa Rural Support Trust to get a better understanding of what people are going through and what damage was caused.

It’s important to have the full story so we can advocate to central government about the needs of our district.

If you and your whānau were impacted by the 15-16 February severe weather event, please complete this survey and share if you can.

The Wairarapa Rural Support Trust is most interested in collecting information from those living and working in rural Wairarapa, including farms and lifestyle blocks. 

The survey is open now until Monday 16 March 2026.

Complete the survey and be in to win a $500 fencing bundle or $500 supermarket voucher.

Please also check in with neighbours, friends, or family who may not be online or who may need help completing it, and share the survey so we reach as many people as possible. Every response helps build a clearer picture of what our rural communities need.
