As of Monday afternoon, almost 400 Auckland properties have been red or yellow stickered. Senior associate at law firm Tompkins Wake, Morgan Brady tells Kathryn Ryan home owners should take a lot of photos and not to attempt any repairs until they've spoken to their insurer.

Aucklanders are bracing for more rain later today. In West Auckland, the hilly, bush-clad suburb of Titirangi is one of the hardest hit. Days of heavy rain has brought down slips, leaving some homes teetering on hillsides and tearing huge chunks out of roads. Thousands of residents are without water, and while water tankers have been brought in, there are many who live too far off the road to lug water in. Paul Bell and his wife Claire live in Otitori Bay Road in Titirangi - on Friday night 50 metres of bank in front of their home disappeared. Their second baby in due in 3 weeks and they're unsure whether they can move home. Kathryn also speaks with local MP for New Lynn, Deborah Russell.

Peter has been guaging what locals think of the billion dollar Australian development, Lakeview and whether it belongs in Queenstown. Also the picturesque town is often is often referred to as a "Resort" by people and media from elsewhere in NZ, but many residents don't see it that way amid a belief that the the local economy must diversify away from tourism to other types of business. And worker accomodation in Queenstown and Wanaka remains in serious short supply.

Thorley Robbins is an avocado entrepreneur whose first foray into the horticulture sector was at age two - when he set up a roadside stall selling fresh tomatoes from his family's orchard. He grew up in Katikati on the orchard and seven years ago founded The Avo Tree - delivering freshly picked avocados direct to consumers around the country. As demand grew, he found more and more small scale growers to pick, pack and dispatch for- he now has 140 on the books. But he's not just selling avos for eating - in 2017 he expanded into the skin care sector - developing a range of products derived from cold pressed avocado oil. Then came avocado tea, and now he's wood wool - natural wood shavings used to pack the fruit to get it to customers in pristine condition. He tells Kathryn it's been a wild ride, but he's convinced the business has a long way to go.

After a lot of pressure, the German government has authorised the delivery of German-made Leopard tanks to Ukraine, both directly and via third countries. Chancellor Scholz had been criticised by allies who believed he was taking too long to decide and was not communicating his intentions properly. Scholz says it was necessary to coordinate closely with allies, in particular the United States, which has also decided to send some of its own tanks to Ukraine. Also, Europe's economy seems to be performing better than previously thought with Thomas saying experts are predicting that the Eurozone will avoid a recession this year.

Communities across the supercity have been devastated by the rain event - but were all responded to equally? Kathryn speaks with Manukau ward councillor Alf Filipaina who believes some emergency officials failed to react quickly enough to residents in southern suburbs. Waitakere Ward Councillor Shane Henderson was out directing traffic in Massey on Friday night, he talks about the situation out west this morning and North Shore ward councillor Richard Hills updates Kathryn on the flooding there - particularly in the Wairau Valley where two of the four fatalities occurred.
