1 Earthquake Commission (EQC) founded 1944 funded by levy on fire insurance covers house damage up to NZ $100,000 (£50,000), plus contents up to NZ $20,000 (£10,000), and land damage under house more than 100,000 Christchurch claims from 4 September event (including more than 2000 uninhabitable houses)

2 Aftershocks during September / October www.geonet.org.nz/resources/earthquake/recent-regional-seismicity/shallow-seismicity.html

3 Aftershocks during November/December www.geonet.org.nz/resources/earthquake/recent-regional-seismicity/shallow-seismicity.html

4 Press, 5 March 2011

5 Boxing Day aftershock sequence (24 hrs recorded at McQueen’s Valley, ~ 30 km SE of Christchurch) www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/drums/mqz-drum.html

6 A largely linear pattern to the Boxing Day aftershocks - pointed to a fault running through the City (and in particular under the CBD, represented here by the black square) Press, 27 December 2010

7 22 February 2011 12.51am NZT Magnitude 6.3 Depth 5km Epicentre around 5km southeast of Christchurch Human toll: 181 deaths (1 unaccounted for) Estimated financial cost: approx. NZ $15 billion

8 The Star, 25 February 2011 Port Hills fault - major aftershocks 22-24 Feb 2011

9 USGS map of exposure to shaking, reproduced in New Zealand Historic Places Trust, Kia Kaha Canterbury

10 Maximum vertical acceleration recorded at Heathcote (about 1km from epicentre) ~ 2.2g ( a measured world record !) J Berrill, ‘Some Aspects of the M 6.3 February 22nd Earthquake’ (reproduced in the Press, 24 March 2011)

11 Reasons for vertical shaking intensity: 1) closeness of fault 3) focusing by Port Hills towards city 2) steep angle (65%) of fault 4) amplification by gravel layers The Star, 25 February 2011
