Inside the inquiry asking if NZ was ready for the deadly Cyclone Gabrielle
About this episode
It’s been more than two years since Cyclone Gabrielle and the Auckland Anniversary Weekend floods.
Nineteen people died.
A three-week long inquest has begun in Hastings District Court, examining how prepared we were for the cyclone, how warnings were issued, and the emergency response.
Today on The Front Page, Open Justice reporter Ric Stevens joins us to take us through what we know so far, and what we hope to learn from these tragic events.
