Veterans and former emergency workers cleaning up communities
A team made up of veterans, former emergency service personal and other volunteers are travelling the country helping communities hit hard in recent extreme weather. The Northland coastal settlement of Oakura is one of them. While communities further down the motu have been hammered this week, Oakura was swamped in floodwaters and silt at the end of January and is still mopping up. Taskforce Kiwi volunteer Jenny Calder spoke to Lisa Owen.
