The Prime Minister says today's the day the Government's preparing a support package the areas severely damaged by recent weather. Recovery efforts are in their sixth day at Mount Maunganui, where six people are still missing in the aftermath of a large landslide. Local states of emergency remain in place for the Tairawhiti regions, Whangarei, Thames Coromandel and Hauraki Districts, and the Bay of Plenty. Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking he's meeting with Cabinet this morning to discuss funding that's needed immediately. He says different areas need different support, and they will spend whatever they need to. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And here we all are, another summer, and while for many people it was fun in the sun and family catchups, for others it was dealing with floods and landslides. Specialised crews are still working, and will be working for some time yet, on recovering the bodies of the missing Mount Maunganui campers. Families are mourning the loss of a Welcome Bay grandmother and grandson killed in another Bay of Plenty landslip, and around the country communities are dealing with being cut off from main thoroughfares and facing lengthy drives to access any kind of amenities, probably counting their lucky stars that their family members are not among the dead and injured from this year's summer storms. It's horrifying, but it's not unexpected, is it? Ever since humans have attempted to tame the environment around them, they've had to deal with the fact that often they will come off second best. So, do we need to rethink how and where we build our communities? It's the definition of madness to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results, and yet that is what we do. Cabinet's meeting this morning and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking they'd be discussing the hundreds of millions of dollars needed to fix major roading damage from this year's summer storms. Last year they met to discuss the hundreds of millions of dollars that would be needed to fix roads, the year before that they needed to fix kilometres of roads around the country, and that too would cost hundreds of millions of dollars. A large part of the Waioeka Gorge, which connects Gisborne and Bay of Plenty, will be closed for several weeks to clear slips from the roads. Farmers in the region are calling for a plan B and a more resilient road network because they say they can't handle being cut off from the rest of the country every 18 to 36 months. There are some communities that are looking at other options, rather than rebuilding every time there are floods and doing that every 18 to 36 months. You've got the town of Westport that's looking at a long-term managed retreat strategy, where they're not going to build a new town per se, but gradually any new projects will be built on higher, safer ground away from the severe flood risk, and there'll be plans for a new hub and infrastructure to encourage gradual relocation over generations. There's also a proposal to shift Kumeū's town centre over a number of years. That was tabled by the Auckland Council around about this time last year. A proposal to shift Kumeū and Huapai area because it has a repeated history of flooding, and yes, you can pay the higher insurance rates and you can rebuild and do it again and again, but why would you if there is an alternative? Infrastructure proposals are also being put forward, but a number of community leaders are saying it's pointless, it's putting your finger in the dyke. The better option is to concede defeat and build somewhere else. Certainly there are ways to mitigate damage from flooding and landslips, there are ways of predicting which areas are more prone to flooding and landslips, technology's improving all the time. In some instances though, do we just need to acknowledge that we are no match for the power of nature, concede defeat and step away? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Incessant rains have submerged villages across Limpopo and Mpumalanga, sweeping away homes, cutting off roads and leaving communities isolated and desperate. The Kruger National Park had to suspend visits and evacuate some guests and staff by helicopter. The floods have claimed 11 lives in Limpopo while 20 people have died in Mpumalanga since that start of the heavy rains last month. Besides the human cost, the two provinces now face repair bills to roads, bridges and other public infrastructure that will cost billions of rand, money the provinces simply do not have. An orange level 9 warning has been issued by the South African Weather Service, forecasting yet more rain in affected areas and warning communities to remain alert and to stay clear of roads and overflowing rivers. But with food and other resources running low, many have no option but to brave the flooded, damaged and dangerous roads. To get more details about the weather in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to South African Weather Service forecaster, Amukelani Mkhari

Social Development Minister Louise Upston says the initiative is just for Civil Defence emergencies at this stage. But Upston told Heather du Plessis-Allan she's open to suggestions about how to reduce the number of people on the Jobseeker benefit. She says this takes a significant amount of funding, and the Government's coffers aren't a bottomless pit. Upston told du Plessis-Allan it's estimated 30 people are needed for the work.

A new working paper from the Congressional Budget Office estimates that for every dollar spent to elevate or buy-out a flooded home, $2.69 would be saved in future costs over the next 30 years.  Of the 1.3 million projects the paper identifies, roughly 138,000 would see a greater savings of $6 dollars.  Total savings would amount to $519 billion in future damage if governments and homeowners together would spend $193 billion today.Former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner Lisa Miller sat down with one of the paper's co-authors and the head of a national home floodproofing solutions company to discuss the government's current efforts – and what's lacking – to avoid costly future flood damage across the nation.Show Notes The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is the research arm of the U.S. Congress, tasked with providing nonpartisan analysis for lawmakers to consider when making policy.  Its May 2024 working paper, Flood Damage Avoided by Potential Spending on Property-Level Adaptations found:  There are approximately 1.3 million projects (each adapting a single property of one to four units) where the expected avoided damage exceeds project costs primarily from elevating the home above flood stage or a buyout of the property for later destruction. The total cost of completing these projects would be $193 billion, preventing $519 billion of expected damage over 30 years. On average, each dollar spent on these projects would avoid $2.69 of expected damage. About 138,000 projects would result in expected avoided damage over six times the cost of the project. Outcomes vary based on area income and geography. “We started looking into federal spending on adaptation to flood risk and we found that there's a big literature out there, but it can be really difficult to compare across studies, and apply one context to another,” explained paper co-author Evan Herrnstadt.  “So we would need a scalable and flexible approach and found it was feasible for us to use the National Structure Inventory from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and flood modeling from the First Street Foundation and combine that with some other work to estimate avoided damage from property level interventions like buyouts and elevations,” said Herrnstadt, who is a CBO economist.  The national framework that CBO developed used inland and coastal residential properties that contain 1 to 4 housing units.While the CBO doesn't make policy recommendations to Congress, Herrnstadt said in this report, it does characterize sets of projects and different allocation schemes to provides potential opportunities to avoid flood damage paid principally by federal, state, and local governments, together with homeowners.  The paper notes that FEMA has multiple programs that fund property-level adaptation.  From fiscal years 2008 to 2019, annual obligations for those programs totaled about $280 million, representing an average of 29% of the amount FEMA has obligated for hazard mitigation.“Evan this is fantastic work,” said Tom Little, President & CEO of Floodproofing.com, an integrated company providing property risk analysis, wet and dry floodproofing solutions, and flood insurance.  “This is the type of information that we need to get out there to continue to build awareness that we can actually invest money and get a strong return on that investment, by retrofitting the existing infrastructure that we have,” said Little, who is a Certified Floodplain...
