This morning, Monday 27 February at 09:00am, Housing Minister Megan Woods announced the activation of the Temporary Accommodation Service (TAS) following Cyclone Gabrielle.

The TAS has been activated to support those affected by Cyclone Gabrielle and the Auckland Flooding events in February and January 2023.

TAS supports affected households to find temporary accommodation while their home is being repaired, rebuilt or they are unable to return to access their home.

Affected households can register their details for the service by visiting www.tas.mbie.govt.nz phoning 0508 754 163.

We encourage affected people to register with TAS as soon as possible if they need temporary accommodation.
