Police confirmed 11 deaths related to the cyclone, most of those have been in Hawke’s Bay. The number of people still not reachable has fallen as communications in hard-hit areas improve.
Robertson has been appointed Cyclone Recovery Minister, in addition to his existing portfolio.
Hipkins also extended the national state of emergency, which was declared last week for only the third time in its history, a further seven days to help the recovery and relief efforts. New Zealand police commissioner Andrew Coster told the AM Show on Monday the number of deaths would likely rise, adding that difficulty with communications is hampering efforts to make contact with affected people.
