Wellington City Update #2
General damage:
There are reports of buildings with some structural damage. If you see structural damage in your building, we recommend having the building inspected by an engineer engaged by the building's owner before it is occupied for normal business. If you are concerned about the safety of your building you should contact their building owner for an update on the status of their building.
A couple of buildings have been evacuated with all residents relocated to temporary accommodation. No temporary accommodation is needed at this time.

Reports of power out in only a few houses
No reports of water mains out.
No reports of gas issues.
Inspections will be done on all utilities tomorrow.

We advise people to avoid the CBD unless necessary and stay off the streets.
Trains:
No trains tonight. We will update later this evening when there is more information about tomorrow's commute.
