新西兰政府宣布,将向凯库拉市长救援基金(Kaikōura Mayoral Relief Fund)提供 5万纽币(NZ$50,000)援助资金,帮助当地社区应对7月初严重暴雨洪灾造成的影响。

应急管理与恢复部长 马克·米切尔(Mark Mitchell)表示,凯库拉地区近期受到强降雨严重影响,洪水、山体滑坡、道路关闭以及住宅和基础设施损坏,给当地居民带来了重大困难。

他说:

“我的心与所有受影响的人同在。这次灾害给整个地区带来了严重影响,目前恢复工作仍在持续进行。”

此次拨款是应**凯库拉地区委员会(Kaikōura District Council)**的请求提供,将用于满足社区紧急需求,包括:

  • 居民受灾垃圾清理;
  • 更换无法通过保险赔付的生活用品;
  • 支持受灾家庭和社区组织恢复正常生活。

这笔资金是在此前政府向凯库拉受灾农民提供5万纽币援助基础上的进一步支持。此前政府通过农业灾害信托基金(Farmers Adverse Events Trust),并与**新西兰农民联合会(Federated Farmers)**配套资金,共同帮助受洪灾影响的农户。

马克·米切尔表示,他曾亲临灾区,亲眼看到凯库拉社区在灾害期间展现出的团结与互助精神。

他说:

“感谢所有迅速采取行动、保护居民安全的人,包括紧急救援人员、地方政府、民防机构、iwi(毛利部落组织)、marae(毛利社区中心)以及当地居民。”

政府表示,**市长救援基金(Mayoral Relief Funds)**的作用是在紧急情况下快速填补资金缺口,由当地社区和地方政府根据实际需要决定资金用途,包括帮助个人、家庭(whānau)、社区机构以及marae。

该基金并不是保险的替代方案,也不会覆盖已有其他资金来源可以承担的费用。

此外,受灾居民还可能获得来自以下政府机构的进一步支持:

  • 社会发展部(Ministry of Social Development, MSD)
  • 初级产业部(Ministry for Primary Industries, MPI)

2026年7月初,凯库拉地区遭遇强降雨天气,引发:

  • 大范围洪水;
  • 山体滑坡;
  • 道路交通中断;
  • 房屋及公共设施损坏;
  • 农业生产受到影响。

当地政府、民防部门、社区组织以及志愿者迅速投入救援和恢复工作。

凯库拉曾因2016年7.8级地震受到严重影响,此次洪灾再次考验当地基础设施和社区恢复能力。



The Government is making a contribution of $50,000 to the Kaikōura Mayoral Relief Fund, Minister for Emergency Management and Recovery Mark Mitchell announced today.

“Kaikōura was hard hit by heavy rainfall in early July, resulting in widespread flooding, landslides, road closures and damage to homes and infrastructure.

“My thoughts are with everyone who was impacted. This event caused significant disruption across the district and recovery is ongoing.

“This contribution to the Mayoral Relief Fund has been made in response to a request from Kaikōura District Council and will help meet community needs such as residential waste disposal and replacement of uninsurable items.

“This funding is in addition to an earlier $50,000 contribution to the Farmers Adverse Events Trust to support flood-affected Kaikōura farmers, with matching funding from Federated Farmers,” says Mr Mitchell. 

“I was on the ground during this event and saw firsthand how well the Kaikōura community supported each other. Thank you to everyone who stepped up quickly to respond to this event and keep people safe – first responders, council and civil defence, iwi and marae, and community members.”

Mayoral Relief Funds help communities bounce back after an emergency. Local communities and councils understand where the immediate needs are and how to help individuals, whānau and community organisations, marae.

The funds are in addition to other support that may be available from other agencies such as the Ministry of Social Development and Ministry for Primary Industries.

Mayoral Relief Funds are intended to help fill gaps quickly where an immediate need exists. It’s not a replacement for insurance and costs covered by other funding sources.
