The region was lashed by heavy rain and thunderstorms yesterday and overnight causing multiple road closures.
Parts of State Highways 83, 87 and 90 are closed, and numerous local roads are affected by surface flooding, slips, washout and debris.
Emergency Management Otago group controller Matt Alley says the entire region appears to have been impacted.
He says damage assessments are being made as floodwaters slowly drop.
