Authorities are prepared for the swollen Ashburton river to breach its banks.
The region's one of three - along with Timaru and Selwyn - to declare a state of local emergency after hours of heavy rainfall.
District Mayor Neil Brown says he's never seen the river this high.
But he says the region has planned for a one-in-200-year weather event, and stopbanks are holding the river back.

"Be prepared to leave if you get the message to leave through friends or neighbours or through the likes of a emergency cellphone alert."
