The region-wide state of emergency in the Bay of Plenty has been lifted, but is still in place for the Whakatane district.
Bay of Plenty Civil Defence lifted the state of emergency at midday.
Whakatane Mayor Tony Bonne declared a local state of emergency for Whakatane to enable the continued response to Edgecumbe and the surrounding areas.
Bay of Plenty Civil Defence group controller Clinton Naude said although the region certainly felt the impact of Cyclone Cook, based on this morning's assessments it had been fortunate.
