A councillor is looking to reassure those who suffered during Auckland's January flooding.

A report into the flood response has made 17 recommendations including developing an IT system for better communication and creating stronger community relationships.

Manukau Ward Councillor Alf Filipaina says those who lost their homes or loved ones will still be devastated.

He told Roman Travers the council needs to discuss these recommendations so failure doesn't happen again.
