Throughout the region, February 14 will be commemorated and marked with services, karakia, and community events to remember the devastation that Cyclone Gabrielle caused, and the ongoing impact it has had on lives and livelihoods.
On Wednesday, people are encouraged to unite and show support by wearing Hawke’s Bay’s colours of black and white, and a region-wide minute of silence will be held at noon.
Shops and businesses are encouraged to decorate towns and communities with black and white in store windows and letterboxes.
