Canterbury, New Zealand Earthquakes of 2010 and 2011
A colleague just sent along a link to a web site that plans to preserve the history and personal stories associated with the September 4, 2010 M7.1 Christchurch NZ earthquake, and the February 22, 2011 M6.3 Canterbury, NZ earthquake. You can find the link here. An excellent way to preserve knowledge about these events and may well aid in helping to prevent similar disasters in the future.
