  • Presentation of September 4, 2010 Canterbury Earthquake
    Presentation of September 4, 2010 Canterbury Earthquake William Godwin, PG, CEG AEG Vice President, 2019-20 Webinar – May 6, 2020 Introduction ► This presentation is on the 2010 Mw 7.1 Canterbury Earthquake. The earthquake occurred as I was traveling from San Francisco to Auckland, New Zealand to attend the IAEG Congress. Upon arrival I was asked to join the Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) team to document damage from the event in the Christchurch area of the South Island. Little did I know that another smaller (Mw 6.2), yet deadlier earthquake would strike 5 months later in close to the same area. Introduction ► The purpose of the GEER is to observe and record earthquake induced phenomena and impacts to infrastructure before evidence is removed or altered as part of cleanup efforts. ► The reconnaissance was conducted by a joint USA-NZ-Japan team with the main funding for the USA contingent coming from GEER and partial support from PEER and EERI. ► This presentation includes my photographs from Sept. 8-10 supplemented with a few photos and observations noted in the GEER report, Nov. 2010. I also describe other seismic events from 2011-16. Sept 4th Darfield Earthquake ► At 4:35 am on September 4th NZ Standard Time (16:35 Sept 3rd UTC) the rupture of a previously unrecognized strike-slip fault (Greendale Fault) beneath the Canterbury Plains of New Zealand’s South Island produced a Mw 7.1 earthquake that caused widespread damage throughout the region. Surprisingly only two people were seriously injured, with approximately 100 total injuries. This compares with 185 deaths in the 2011 event Canterbury Earthquake Sequence Greendale Fault Rupture Characteristics Epicenter (focal) depth: 10.8km Tectonic Setting Ground Motion (pga) Geographical Setting Preliminary Observations ► Rock Avalanche, Castle Rock Reserve, Littleton, Christchurch ► Fault Offset, Telegraph Rd at Grange Rd.

  • Reachout: a Prevention First Response to Men Perpetrating Family Violence in North Canterbury, New Zealand
    HERMAN GOLDSTEIN AWARDS 2016 ReachOut A Prevention First Response to Men Perpetrating Family Violence In North Canterbury, New Zealand SUMMARY New Zealand has the highest rate of family violence amongst member nations of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). North Canterbury is situated in the South Island of New Zealand. It is a suburban and rural area with an approximate population of 70,000. Scanning in 2010 by local Police identified a gap in services for men named on Police reports of family violence. While women and children were routinely offered support following Police attendance at an episode, men listed as subjects or offenders were not. At the same time, the number of women entering local safe houses had started to decline and the average length of stay was increasing. This was due to the lack of affordable accommodation for women and children to move into because of the Canterbury earthquakes. Police attendance at family violence episodes had also increased rapidly by 19% following the earthquakes. Prior to the implementation of the response, the local male family violence re-offending rate was 18%. Police analysis of a high risk sample of local men identified a willingness to receive support. This in turn had the potential to prevent reoffending by improving risk assessment and victim safety planning. A multi-stakeholder community meeting facilitated by Police and the local council found unanimous support for a specialist response for men in North Canterbury. Police and a local specialist family violence agency Aviva (formerly called Christchurch Women’s Refuge) convened a multi-stakeholder working group to co-design, implement and pilot a response.
