The Prime Minister says today's the day the Government's preparing a support package the areas severely damaged by recent weather.  

Recovery efforts are in their sixth day at Mount Maunganui, where six people are still missing in the aftermath of a large landslide.  

Local states of emergency remain in place for the Tairawhiti regions, Whangarei, Thames Coromandel and Hauraki Districts, and the Bay of Plenty.  

Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking he's meeting with Cabinet this morning to discuss funding that's needed immediately. 

He says different areas need different support, and they will spend whatever they need to.
