Two people have died and two are missing after raging floodwaters and slips caused by an unprecedented deluge of rain across Auckland.

The city is in a state of emergency after the downpour caused widespread flooding, slips, road closures and travel disruptions.

Auckland Emergency Management Duty Controller Andrew Clark told Tim Beveridge the situation has stabilised significantly since late last night.

He says they're focusing on providing emergency accommodation for people at evacuation centres who can't get home due to damage.
