A map showing the location of green-zoned homes in the otherwise red-zoned Stour Drive.
one of Christchurch's abandoned suburbs. The land moved - bricks and block walls everywhere collapsed - two multi story buildings folded - 184 people died.
Wooden framed houses largely stayed up, many concrete slabs cracked, power poles leaned in liquid ground, surface bubbled, services ruptured .... damage to the cbd still gets the most cover...
A photograph looking north along the footpath of Bangor Street. To the right there are the former sites of several houses. The houses were demolished after the land was zoned Red.
A business owner has been allowed into the 'Red Zone' in the Christchurch CBD in order to investigate the damage to his business premises. He is dismayed to discover that he has forgotten his keys; the Civil Defence officer who is with him, looks at him askance as the door is the only part of his premises still standing. Context - Some time after the earthquake of 22 March 2011 business owners were allowed through the cordon to collect belongings and see their premises for themselves.
