Civil Defence is opening its doors to people affected by heavy rain in Auckland, which is under a regional State of Emergency.
It's opened Civil Defence Centres at Albany and Massey and there are community emergency hubs at Kumeu, Warkworth, Wellsford and Waiheke Island.
Roads are closed across Auckland in Albany, Wainui, Manly, Mangere, Hillsborough, Mount Wellington, Coatesville and Warkworth.
Auckland Emergency Management's Rachel Kelleher says the flooding has badly affected public transport.
"Public transport, buses are out driving on the same roads as cars and people will be seeing there is a lot of disruption as a result of that surface flooding."
AT says trains are resuming trips on the Western and Southern lines, but running slower.
