Those displaced or affected by the Auckland floods and Cyclone Gabrielle can get help with insurance claims through a new service from today.

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.
The government's looking overseas to get more hands on deck to help with the rebuild from Cyclone Gabrielle.
