Hon KIERAN McANULTY: Since 2020, the Government has invested $217 million in 55 flood-protection projects across New Zealand. This is in addition to the payments the Government makes to councils to repair damaged stopbanks through their emergency management system. The national adaptation plan launched at the start of the month will ensure that communities have the information and support they need to prepare for the impacts of climate change, including more frequent and severe flood events. The national adaptation plan brings together more than 120 actions that, together, provide a blueprint for more resilient communities where everything, from our homes to the way we grow our food, is protected from the worst effects of climate change. The national adaptation plan will outline the steps the Government will take over the next six years to respond to these risks. The National Emergency Management Agency has recently rolled out two flooding life-safety public education campaigns: "Flood Waters Are Deep Trouble" and "Get The Flood Out".
