Last week in outstanding we have been talking about the recent canterbury floods. For this activity we were told to read a new report about the canterbury floods and from the info we have gathered we were to make a blog post about our report.
The rain that caused the flood started at sunday afternoon at christchurch though for others the start of the flood might have began at Monday. A major code-red warning has been sent out for places like ashburton, springfield, and many more. The acting minister for emergency management, Kris Faafoi came to canterbury to deal with the heavy rain. It was said that 3000 houses were at risk of flooding. Because of the major floods springfield about 30 houses were evacuated and with help from fire crew they were able to get help from communities and from their friends and family.
Homes that were near the river were advised to self-evacuate. Other school that were majorly impacted were tasked to close. There were about 52 schools closed due to the flood.
Have you ever experienced a massive flood near you home?
