The 2010/2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence resulted in severe loss and disruption in Christchurch, New Zealand due to liquefaction and damage from strong shaking. Following the earthquake, over 60% of concrete buildings with 3+stories in the Christchurch CBD were demolished, resulting in a ...
This paper uses earthquake hazards in the Wellington Region, New Zealand as a case study. A project was undertaken in 2011 to see whether the earthquake hazard had been better recognized and mitigated for in Wellington Region land use planning documents since 2001. In general, it was found ...
Using seismic data collected during the 2010–2011 Canterbury, New Zealand, earthquake sequence, we apply the non-linear least-squares Gauss–Newton method, a deterministic downhill optimization technique, to simultaneously determine the M0, fc, and κ for each event-station pair. We fit the ...

Disaster recovery, on the other hand, protects against multiple points of failure and aims to restore critical workloads to an operational state after an extreme disruption, such as when an earthquake or hurricane takes a facility down. DR sites are typically geographically distant from one another...
