A video about the Iroquois helicopters which were deployed in Christchurch after the 22 February 2011 earthquake. They operated for a week after the earthquake and were tasked with logistical operations.
A video about the Royal New Zealand Air Force's Air Movements Terminal in Christchurch. The Air Movements Terminal managed the disembarkment of international supplies and personnel supporting Christchurch after the 22 February 2011 earthquake.
A video about Ryan Nelson, the captain of the All Whites and Christchurch local, visiting the HMNZS Otago. Ryan thanked the crew for their tireless efforts and support to the people of Lyttelton after the 22 February 2011 earthquake.
A video about the HMNZS Canterbury which travelled to Wellington after the 22 February 2011 earthquake to refuel and gather supplies. The crew worked overnight to ensure that they could return to the people of Lyttelton as quickly as possible.
A video about the New Zealand Army testing the quality of water across Christchurch. After the 4 September 2010 earthquake, the NZ Army developed ties with the Canterbury District Health Board. This relationship continued after the 22 February 2011 earthquake with the NZ Army taking on the role of examining Christchurch's water quality.
A video about Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker visiting the New Zealand Navy on the HMNZS Canterbury in Lyttelton. Bob Parker thanked the Navy personnel for their support in Lyttelton after the 22 February 2011 earthquake.
A video about the 'air bridge' set up by the Royal New Zealand Air Force after the 22 February 2011 earthquake. The 'air bridge' was made up of Boeing 757s and Hercules C-130s which travelled from Christchurch to the rest of the country, transporting people and picking up supplies.
A video about the service held in East Timor for personnel in the New Zealand and Australian Defence Force and the police. The service was held in honour of the people who lost their lives in the 22 February 2011 earthquake, as well as to acknowledge the people providing relief back in Christchurch.
A video about New Zealand Army chefs preparing and delivering over 850 meals at the Burnham Military Camp. The meals were for the emegency services working in Christchurch after the 22 February 2011 earthquake. 300 went to the New Zealand Police, 300 to the New Zealand Fire Service, and 250 to the New Zealand Defence Force.
A video of a presentation by Professor David Johnston during the fourth plenary of the 2016 People in Disasters Conference. Johnston is a Senior Scientist at GNS Science and Director of the Joint Centre for Disaster Research in the School of Psychology at Massey University. The presentation is titled, "Understanding Immediate Human Behaviour to the 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, Implications for injury prevention and risk communication".The abstract for the presentation reads as follows: The 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquake sequences have given us a unique opportunity to better understand human behaviour during and immediately after an earthquake. On 4 September 2010, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake occurred near Darfield in the Canterbury region of New Zealand. There were no deaths, but several thousand people sustained injuries and sought medical assistance. Less than 6 months later, a magnitude 6.2 earthquake occurred under Christchurch City at 12:51 p.m. on 22 February 2011. A total of 182 people were killed in the first 24 hours and over 7,000 people injured overall. To reduce earthquake casualties in future events, it is important to understand how people behaved during and immediately after the shaking, and how their behaviour exposed them to risk of death or injury. Most previous studies have relied on an analysis of medical records and/or reflective interviews and questionnaire studies. In Canterbury we were able to combine a range of methods to explore earthquake shaking behaviours and the causes of injuries. In New Zealand, the Accident Compensation Corporation (a national health payment scheme run by the government) allowed researchers to access injury data from over 9,500 people from the Darfield (4 September 2010) and Christchurch (22 February 2011 ) earthquakes. The total injury burden was analysed for demography, context of injury, causes of injury, and injury type. From the injury data inferences into human behaviour were derived. We were able to classify the injury context as direct (immediate shaking of the primary earthquake or aftershocks causing unavoidable injuries), and secondary (cause of injury after shaking ceased). A second study examined people's immediate responses to earthquakes in Christchurch New Zealand and compared responses to the 2011 earthquake in Hitachi, Japan. A further study has developed a systematic process and coding scheme to analyse earthquake video footage of human behaviour during strong earthquake shaking. From these studies a number of recommendations for injury prevention and risk communication can be made. In general, improved building codes, strengthening buildings, and securing fittings will reduce future earthquake deaths and injuries. However, the high rate of injuries incurred from undertaking an inappropriate action (e.g. moving around) during or immediately after an earthquake suggests that further education is needed to promote appropriate actions during and after earthquakes. In New Zealand - as in US and worldwide - public education efforts such as the 'Shakeout' exercise are trying to address the behavioural aspects of injury prevention.
