WELLINGTON: After last week's damaging cyclone, New Zealand needs to rebuild with more resilient infrastructure to cope with more frequent and intense weather events, Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said on Tuesday.

Hipkins has described Cyclone 'Gabrielle,' which caused widespread damage on New Zealand's North Island and claimed 11 lives, as the country's most damaging natural disaster in at least a generation.
