1. The Darfield Earthquake - Your Experience

A NZPI initiated multidisciplinary taskforce was established in 2010 to examine the lessons to be learnt from the Darfield Earthquake.

The Technical Taskforce is made up of the following members:

• Geotech Society
• Earthquake Society
• G & S Science
• IPENZ (Administrative support for Taskforce)
• NZIA
• NZILA
• NZIS
• RMLA
• NZPI

The Taskforce will play a unique and valued role in providing government with an independent and coordinated technical review of the lessons to be learnt from the Darfield Earthquake. Attached for your information is the Terms of Reference under which the Taskforce is operating.

The final review will be endorsed by the various institutes/organisations involved and provided to appropriate Ministers and Government Departments.

In a bid to ensure the Taskforce is capturing all relevant intelligence it has resolved to undertake a survey of its respective members. We encourage you to participate in the online survey prior to 11 March 2011.

Warmest regards

Susan Houston

CEO
