Cyclone Gabrielle: Rebuilding cost on par with Christchurch - NZ minister
New Zealand expects the recovery from Cyclone Gabrielle to cost as much as the 2011 Christchurch earthquake.New Zealand has said rebuilding after Cyclone Gabrielle will cost billions of dollars, on par with the Christchurch earthquake from 12 years ago.
"We have a long journey ahead of us to rebuild after this disaster, but we have the resources to do it, and we have the will to do it," Mr. Robertson said. Farmers lost entire harvests and herds to the floods and authorities are still determining how much of it will be covered by insurance, said the minister, who is in charge of rebuilding efforts.
This is only the third time in New Zealand's history that the country has issued a national emergency declaration to speed up rescue and relief efforts - the last time was in the aftermath of the Christchurch earthquake.
