Southland mayor says region was unprepared

From Checkpoint, 4:44 pm today

Southland and Clutha remain under states of local emergency and there are almost 7000 homes still without power, with some people now heading into their sixth night cut off. The Southland mayor says his region wasn't prepared for last week's fierce storm that hammered Southland and South Otago, knocking out power, water and communications. Anna Sargent reports.
