    A State of Emergency has been declared in the Nelson-Tasman region


    Mayor Tim King says this is a pre-emptive step, because of existing conditions in the region after severe weather - and predictions of more heavy rain.

    He says it ensures swift responses to the weather.

    A front's forecast to hit the region at 9am tomorrow - with the worst weather at midday.
