The heavy rain has forced more than 100 people to flee their homes in the Buller District

Ten people evacuated from Seddonville to the local campground last night.

And 15 people were airlifted from a rural property, after a swollen creek cut off their road access.

They were taken by bus to an evacuation centre and are being supported by the welfare team.

Holcim evacuation facility is open for evacuees who can't make other arrangements, with about 100 people there already.

Anyone who feels unsafe in their home is advised to head to an evacuation centre, and alert Buller Emergency Management.
