Hundreds of people whose homes were wrecked by Cyclone Gabrielle will find out today if they're able to rebuild on their flood damaged property.

The Cyclone Recovery Minister said on Tuesday that assessment for low risk properties will be announced from today.

Wairoa Mayor Craig Little says he expects everybody affected in his district will find out about their properties today, and it could be difficult news.
