Tauranga to open Emergency Operations Centre ahead of Cyclone Gabrielle's arrival

Tauranga is standing up its Emergency Operations Centre tomorrow as the city braces for Cyclone Gabrielle.

The city council says it has a close eye on the situation - with the area under orange heavy rain and strong wind warnings.

It urges anyone living in low-lying areas to take steps to protect themselves against surge flooding or erosion.

Sandbag supplies have been exhausted, but this could change on Monday.
