Answer

I am advised that all schools, kura and early learning services in the Greater Wellington region were contacted by the Ministry of Education via email advising them of weather warnings. Included in the email were links directing them to MetService and Wellington Regional Emergency Management (WREMO) and urging them to follow the advice provided.
