    Auckland Floods: How to Help

    Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in flood-impacted parts of Auckland, New Zealand are being urged to follow Civil Defence and other advice regarding essential travel and other safety precautions.

    Opportunities for serving others are being posted on JustServe.org and communicated via congregations' social media channels.

    Where it is safe to do so, Latter-day Saints are supporting neighbours and others who have been impacted by current rain, wind, slips and flooding.

    Volunteers at the Mangere Civil Defence Centre in Auckland, New Zealand. 31 January 2023.

    JustServe is a worldwide community service platform which has been available in Aotearoa-New Zealand for the last several months. In countries where it is better established, such as the USA and Canada, government, faith-based and community organisations use the free platform (JustServe.org and the JustServe app) to post opportunities for people to lend a hand to their communities in a variety of ways, including in times of natural disasters.

    Information about other ways to help in Auckland, to be posted on JustServe.org, can be sent to JustServe coordinators for Auckland, Laura and Richard Hunter, at NewZealand@JustServe.org, by calling 0212407804, or by sending a message to the JustServe Auckland facebook page.
