New Zealand earthquake disaster facts Feb 22 2011 6.3 magnitude ( moderately strong) 12.51 pm ( many people out in the city having their lunch break) 181 died – 200 injured 170,000 properties damaged Christchurch felt worst effects ( 6 km NW of epicentre – very close) Conservative plate boundary movement( Indo Australian/ Pacific plates) Short lived disruption to industrial production ( as the region’s manufacturing hub escaped significant damage) Agricultural sector largely unaffected Rebuild costs (NZ $ 20 bill) were largely insured losses Financial markets largely ignored earthquake impacts and business activity largely resilient Tourism suffered quite badly in immediate aftermath (International visitors were down 40%in the 2011/12 period Developed country ( very resilient population who have largely ‘ bounced back’)

Swiss Cheese model applied to hazards and disasters(J.Reason)

The Swiss Cheese Model of Disaster Causation This model is widely used in risk management and analysis. In the model the layers of cheese represent safety systems and the holes in the cheese represent weaknesses in each line of defence. J. Reason( who developed the model) says that a disaster occurs when all the holes line up in a single trajectory. So, in natural hazards science, a disaster is thought to occur as a result of a series of coincidental events and processes. Generally the hazard becomes a disaster when several holes line up ( a trajectory of accident opportunity) which creates the conditions for loss of life, property and livelihood.
