The Civil Defense notified the people to pack some bags just in case they need to evacuate all of a sudden. The people living down in Mataura and Gore have been told to evacuate their homes due to the flooding.
Mayor of Gore Tracy Hicks, said "some of the houses that are closer to the river were getting sandbagged for protection". A sandbag basically is a bag filled with sand used to build walls to protect houses from a flood. Another thing she said was that there has never been a time where it has rained so bad like those three days, she says that because she's lived in Gore for quite a while.
