The Government is "deploying motorhomes" to quickly support people displaced by recent severe weather, including those in the Bay of Plenty.

Associate Housing Minister Tama Potaka said 10 motorhomes are making their way to Northland Te Tai Tokerau today, with an additional 50 intended to be deployed in coming days.

Additional motorhomes are planned for deployment later in the week as temporary accommodation needs become clearer in other impacted areas particularly the East Coast Tairāwhiti.

"These motorhomes provide an immediate option for people who can't stay in their homes, especially in affected areas where accommodation may be limited," Potaka said.

"This is about responding quickly to real need on the ground. Mobilising motorhomes into affected communities gives people somewhere to live while they wait to be allowed back into their home or for more suitable housing if they have sadly lost their home."

The motorhomes are being delivered through the Government’s Temporary Accommodation Service (TAS), which has been activated to support people displaced across Northland Te Tai Tokerau, Coromandel, Bay of Plenty, East Coast Tairāwhiti and other affected areas.

"If your home has been damaged or you think you may need temporary accommodation, even if you’re staying with whānau or friends, please register with TAS as soon as possible so support can be put in place," Potaka said.
