Rotorua Lakes Council has received more than seventeen hundred calls for information, and requests for assistance since Sunday.
Building inspectors are checking at least 45 properties in Ngongotaha, with the number expected to rise as more damaged houses are reported to council.
Rotorua District Civil Defence Controller Bruce Horne it's a large job so they're getting extra help.
He says building inspectors have come in from across the region to speed up the inspection process.
