A state of emergency was declared in New Zealand following the heavy floods situation and a student going missing in the Abbey Caves (off Auckland).
Due to this severe rainfall, it has caused a severe impact on the Railway services, and it has toppled trees, filled-up basements, landslides, and stranded vehicles.
This state of emergency has been declared as a precaution for the public, and the disaster management teams have already been deployed.
It was reported that a group of students gone for a school outing had been in the Abbey Caves when the floods hit, all of them except for one student managed to escape and search operations are underway for this missing student.
