Auckland Central MP Chloe Swarbrick says authorities will need to learn lessons from their slow response to Friday's heavy rain.

She told Roman Travers there is an obvious disconnect between Auckland's leaders and Auckland's people, which is disappointing.

Swarbrick says questions will need to be asked about why authorities were so slow to respond to the severe weather event.

But the focus right now, she says, needs to be getting through the week.
