They'll have staff on the ground around the district tonight and tomorrow.
It's under a red heavy rain warning -- with peak falls expected from about midday tomorrow.
MetService says 600-to-800 millimetres of rain could fall about the ranges, and up-to-200 on the coast.
Slips and floodwaters are likely to block roads.
A close watch is also being kept on the Grey District - which is under an Orange alert.
