Portaloos! They are everywhere in this part of town. Street I'm staying on has about one per block. Fortunately most plumbing is working, though they're asking for conservation while they repair.
Looks like your legs are buried in the pile

Not quite accurate. Apparently there were national states of emergency back in 9/11 and the 2004 boxing day tsunami, more as a precaution rather than any damage to our shores. But still nothing of this scale where it’s been a national state of emergency for 6 weeks now.
BTW – welcome back to the beautiful Garden City. (Sorry about the mess.) Hope you have a good stay.
@Adulcia, Hmm I didn’t know that. I think I’d read that in the NZ Herald, but it was right after things happened and info was a bit off the cuff. Thanks for the welcome!
