Just use “alert” like they do for headlines or updates. That’s alarmist enough.

Regarding the state of emergency in Auckland…. Has there been any extra news coverage (from TVNZ or Newshub) for this storm event?

Good to see Sunrise mentioning it. It’s been quiet on the ABC and other channels

Seems like the death toll is rising fast. Could be a much bigger story tomorrow.
IIRC the 2010 Haiti earthquake was not big news the day it happened but as the death toll skyrocketed over the following week it became the top story. Hopefully this is not that bad, but that can happen.

Yeah I mean death toll well over 1,000 now, plus a 7.5-magnitude a few minutes ago - will dominate breakfast news tomorrow you’d assume

TRT Turk:

Seven need to get a reporter over to NZ. I’m surprised they have ignored this.
