Cyclone Gabrielle: Raw sewage forces evacuation in Napier
People are being evacuated from a Napier street, where there's raw sewage. Fire and Emergency says members of the public need to stay away from the Awatoto Public Golf Course on Awatoto Road. Anyone who may have been exposed is urged to seek medical treatment immediately. It's another health issue for people living in the areas hard hit by the storm - where there's contaminated silt covering streets. Medical Officer of Health Bridget Wilson talks to Lisa Owen.
