Personnel from the USAID Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) standing in Firefighters Reserve, in preparation for the two minutes of silence to honour the people who lost their lives in the 22 February 2011 earthquake. Just out of the picture is a sculpture fashioned from 5 tonnes of structural steel salvaged from the site of the World Trade Centre following their collapse on 11 September 2001 in terrorist attacks on New York City.

The old Christchurch Railway Station Clock Tower was damaged during the 7.1 magnitude quake on 4 September 2010 and was braced by the wooden sleeve until repaired.

Two men chat over the fence about the state of their houses after the 4th September earthquake in Christchurch. One of them is complaining about the slow pace of reconstruction of houses after the magnitude 7.1 earthquake on 4 September 2010; the second man thinks they are doing their best. Context - Frustration over the slow rate of processing insurance applications and building inspections after the magnitude 7.1 earthquake on 4 September 2010 which although it resulted in a lot of damage, no-one died.

Three days after this cartoon was published the much more disastrous earthquake of the 22nd February struck and many people died.
