Flood-damaged goods - Hawke's Bay District Health Board Medical Officer of Health Dr Nick Jones said household items damaged by flood waters and removed from homes to the kerbside for special collection should not be touched by passers-by. "Flood waters are potentially contaminated and therefore all items that have been in contact with flood waters should be treated with caution," said Dr Jones. "Household goods damaged by floods must be disposed of if they are unable to be cleaned and disinfected thoroughly - therefore any goods that have been removed from homes during the weekend clean-up should not be rummaged through or touched by others at the kerbside."
