EDIT 8.30am Friday: To help those affected by the #BOP flooding, we have made our Free WiFi Zones available to all in Kawerau, Whakatane and Ohope. Payphones in these towns are also available for locals to make free domestic landline and mobile calls.
If you've been affected by the flooding in the Bay of Plenty and have had to evacuate your home, please send us a private message with your details and the hashtag #BOP and we'll be able to help out with free call diversion from your landline to your mobile. Stay safe out there, folks - wishing you all the best.
