CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKE UPDATE

07.03.2011

The United States, New Zealand and Italian Antarctic programmes are working collaboratively to free-up as much office accommodation as possible on the International Antarctic Centre campus for critical support agencies whose premises have been severely affected by the 22 February earthquake. We currently have representatives St John Ambulance, New Zealand Police, Child Youth and Family, Department of Internal Affairs, Department of Conservation and New Zealand Historic Places Trust on campus. Both Scott Base and the Christchurch office of Antarctica New Zealand are fully operational.
