Road blocks have been set up north of Auckland as the region goes into alert level 3. Smith said he was informed by local police about 8pm Sunday of roadblocks north of Mangawhai, Kaiwaka and Oneriri, which meant the areas should be under alert level 3. However, Kaipara Civil Defence had posted in a Mangawhai community group on social media that the whole of the Kaipara district is in alert level 2.
