Those displaced or affected by the Auckland floods and Cyclone Gabrielle can get help with insurance claims through a new service from today.
The Government has launched the New Zealand Claims Resolution Service for homeowners to resolve issues and settle claims.
The service is modelled on two that were used during the Canterbury earthquakes.
Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Duncan Webb spoke to Guyon Espiner.
Earlier this morning Christchurch's Cathedral Square saw its first dawn service since the earthquake in 2011. The city's Mayor Phil Mauger was there.
The Anzac Day Dawn service returns to Christchurch's Cathedral Square tomorrow, the first time since the 2011 earthquake.
The service will take place near the newly-restored Citizens' War Memorial at 5.30am, where traditional veterans will parade up Worcestor Boulevard towards the Square.
Christchurch Memorial RSA president, Dennis Mardle, spoke to Corin Dann.
