[quote:Una:MV8xNTI2Nzk1XzI1MzI3MTE5XzlGNUJDNkM3] Weary Cantabrians forced into their third major clean up after last week's large aftershocks are being urged not to give up. Scientists have warned that Monday's 6.3 quake had increased the risk of another quake of up to 6.9 magnitude some time within the next 12 months to about 30 percent. Having already dealt with massive clean ups following the September and February quakes, Christchurch residents appear to be questioning the point of shovelling liquefaction when more may be on its way. However, Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee told TVNZ's Q and A that people should keep clearing silt. "I think if they want to stay in those homes for however long it may be, then yes." Mr Brownlee said throughout New Zealand, people tended to live with risk. "If the probabilities around seismic activity are considered now, outside of the current event going on in Christchurch, there are parts of New Zealand that have greater risk," he said. http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/top-stories/9667384/cantabrians-urged-to-keep-going-with-clean-up/ [/quote]
