Overwhelmed and under-resourced.
An independent review has found major failings in the emergency management response to Cyclone Gabrielle.
It finds the system not fit for purpose and "set up good people to fail", during the February 14 disaster.
Central Hawke's Bay District Mayor Alex Walker told Mike Hosking that local emergency management teams were under-resourced.
She says they needed big and fast mobilisation.
