Well done Canterbury

I think the most of the country agrees that it has been amazing seeing how organised canterbury has been with an earthquake that was not ever predicted.

From neighbours helping neighbours.
The Mayor seems to be right in the trenches helping as much as possible.
The Prime minister staying in NZ and going to the people in Canterbury to show support.
WINZ stepping in with financial support for small businesses.
The council employees pitching in straight away getting in and assessing buildings.
Nurses and Doctors calling in to hospital pitching in where possible.

The Great Factors in NZ which made this disaster better than it could have been. (No Deaths)
- Excellent laws around building houses and other structures.
-

Luck :-) - 4.30am on the Saturday morning 4th of September, when some of the worst damage to buildings was in the central business district.
- Before the shops were starting to open and after most night clubbers would have gone home.
