Situation is not good in Napier at all.
Quoting a friends Facebook post:
"I just want to put this out there. In Napier there is only one food franchise open Pak n Save they have EFTPOS. The line is horrendous. Almost nothing on the shelves now. Any other place that is miraculously open will take cash only. Remember the freezers and chillers are off now everywhere. So just be aware there are no ATM's or banks. There are no gas stations to fill your car or gas bottles. , And the one gas station open in Greenmeadows BP is for emergency vehicle's only. Communication is next to nothing. I see people crying outside Pak n save because they couldn't ring for a taxi to take them home. Paper bags filled with stores breaking in the rain. I was glad that I had a resource to get them to their destination. Heartbreaking watching these souls struggling. In our household we are fine. I can boil a Billie for my cuppa. We have a decent amount of food. I can handwash the clothes, we have our Xmas lights, candles and torches, cold showers are fine but also very vigilant that we have to watch our output. . And I'm so friggin grateful to have this little communication for now. So if I haven't answered immediately it's up to 2degrees to get us up and running properly."
