Just received an email on this from our professional body IPENZ:
'Please find attached a new fact sheet, The Canterbury Earthquakes: Answers to critical questions about buildings, for your information and for you to distribute among friends and family should you wish.
Working with the Royal Society, the New Zealand Geotechnical Society, the Structural Engineering Society and the Society for Earthquake Engineering, we have consolidated our respective expertise and updated our earlier efforts.
We will continue to work together to help the people of New Zealand understand what is happening in Canterbury, and appreciate the role that each of you play in disseminating this information.
Our thanks go out to Members who have taken the time to contribute to this important piece of work.'
This fact sheet can be found here: http://www.ipenz.org.nz/ipenz/forms/...-buildings.pdf
