The February 2011 earthquake in New Zealand had devastating consequences for the people of the country and shocked the world. New Zealand is a country that has relatively small earthquakes all the time but rarely is there an earthquake of a magnitude that causes so much loss of life and destruction to a community and population.
The Canterbury Earthquake website is the official website for Christchurch City Council media releases and all earthquake related information. It is a response information website managed by the Environment Canterbury & Christchurch City Council. For the Christchurch Quake government helpline is 0800 779 997

Donations
You can make a donation to help with the New Zealand earthquakes (links below), but you can also continue with your plans to visit New Zealand for a holiday which will be a tremendous help to New Zealand citizens in the long term.
Please do not let an earthquake put you off the visit to New Zealand you have planned or are planning. The New Zealand economy is partially dependent on tourism and your contribution to the country’s economic stability is important over the coming years to help in rebuilding the earthquake affected areas.
