Responders

Responders tells the story of the NZ-RT Community’s first time in history where their skills were needed at one event – the 2011 Christchurch Earthquake.

Responders gives the readers a unique, behind-the-scenes look into Christchurch Earthquake’s Search, Rescue and Recovery. It focuses on the contribution of the New Zealand volunteer response teams in the days and weeks that followed the Christchurch Earthquakes.

Twenty-two teams of over 300 trained light rescue volunteers came from all over New Zealand to assist a city in shock. They have contributed their private photographs and personal accounts of their deployments. They assisted the 111 Emergency Services and USAR Task Forces after the September 2010 Darfield Earthquake. They returned again after the more devastating 22 February 2011 Christchurch Earthquake.
