    Civil Defence and other agencies have met today to prepare for heavy rain in Westland

    Civil Defence and other agencies have met today to prepare for heavy rain in Westland


    They'll have staff on the ground around the district tonight and tomorrow.

    It's under a red heavy rain warning -- with peak falls expected from about midday tomorrow.

    MetService says 600-to-800 millimetres of rain could fall about the ranges, and up-to-200 on the coast.

    Slips and floodwaters are likely to block roads.

    A close watch is also being kept on the Grey District - which is under an Orange alert.
