~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Thanks very much, Chris. This is very valuable experience. I am cc'ing Steve Bender who was involved for some years with a university preparedness programme in the Americas. Perhaps there are things you and he have learned that are useful to each other.
Cheers,
BEN

Hi Chris, John and all
These reports from Canterbury are fascinating - thank you so much
I have been working on this from a practice based perspective for a few years. HEFCE funded an emergency management guide for all Universities which them branched out into wider resilience discussions, training etc.
Let me know if this is of use to your graduate students John.
All the best
Lucy

Of course we don't have that luxury when a disaster occurs so for those fortunate enough to survive, we must learn and adapt. Following the seismic activity which began in Canterbury on September 4th, 2010, (which has not stopped yet) the University of Canterbury community has had to learn and adapt from both an institutional and personal perspective, and in the same way uiniversities readily share academic knowledge, we also wish to do this from an operational perspective.

This is written from both our personal experiences as well as from an institutional view. The devestating earthquakes which occured on February 22nd, 2011, changed our view considerably and although it has taken longer, we have now completed a subsequent report, "Resilience tested - A year and a half of 10,000 aftershocks". This is more academic in nature and is intended as a sharing of lessons as much as the straight transfer of knowledge.
