New Zealanders are now turning their attention to clean-up and recovery efforts following the easing of severe weather conditions across the country, particularly the upper regions of the North and South Islands.
The Insurance Council of New Zealand | Te Kāhui Inihui o Aotearoa (ICNZ) is encouraging people to begin the recovery process safely and as soon as they’re able.
“We understand that in the early stages of recovery not everyone can immediately lodge a claim,” ICNZ Chief Executive Kris Faafoi said.
