I want to acknowledge all those involved in the response and recovery efforts, including first responders, health professionals, central and local government, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa, private businesses, district health boards, the Defence Force, and scientists. This was an extraordinarily challenging event. You worked tirelessly to provide support to those affected. Our thoughts are with you also, as I ask this House to stand together with all New Zealanders impacted by this terrible event.
