About Ōpōtiki
The Ōpōtiki District is home to approximately 10,000 people. Located in the eastern Bay of Plenty, it is an important service centre for the surrounding rural and coastal communities.
Ōpōtiki can experience severe weather, flooding, earthquakes and tsunami. Its coastal location at the mouth of the Waioeka and Otara Rivers means the town is particularly vulnerable to flooding and coastal hazards.
Information during an emergency
During an emergency, information will be available through a number of channels from Bay of Plenty Civil Defence Emergency Management and Ōpōtiki District Council.
Ōpōtiki District Council will provide information to the community and visitors through a variety of channels, including their website and Facebook.
