Civil Defence is coordinating urban search and rescue operations, the treatment and care of injured or affected people, and national resources in support of the local response.
The focus has been the rescue of people alive and trapped in the rubble. Police, civil defence, emergency services, and military personnel will keep working until everyone in Christchurch is accounted for. More than 230 police from around New Zealand have been sent to Christchurch, and assistance has been gratefully accepted from Australia, Britain, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and the United States.
