How to find clean-up assistance
The Student Volunteer Army Foundation are currently preparing to support a community-led response in the Nelson-Tasman region following the flooding events over the past weekend. If you would like to request help for your property or you would like to register as a volunteer - please visit https://www.sva.org.nz/nelsontasman25 and fill out the form.
Landcare Trust is also coordinating a local response to support those affected by recent flooding in our Motueka, Moutere, and Waimea communities. If you need help (clearing homes, driveways, fencing, etc) or can offer time, tools, or skills, please fill out this short form: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Flood25.
There is also a local Facebook group set up for volunteer support: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1QsXCH8eAe/
If you're not local and want to help, then the best way is to donate to the Mayoral Relief Fund, which will help residents access funds to deal with issues in the immediate term.
If you would like to donate to the Nelson-Tasman Mayoral Relief Fund, please deposit funds into the Tasman District Council bank account: 12-3193-0002048-00. Name: Tasman District Council. Please use the reference “Mayoral Relief Fund”. For individuals who want to apply for the fund, please email mayoralrelief@tasman.govt.nz.
Thank you to everyone who has offered to help!
