The liquifaction is indeed bad as is the threat of hills that may still come down. There was an interesting podcast on The Intel Hub News Network. A variety of views of the quake were presented,including questions as to why FEMA was in NZ and left the country 3 hours before the quake hit. We are gratefull for all the support from international agencies who have teams here,also from the NZ Army,Navy Police Force,Search and Resuce and the 1000s of Kiwis who are helping.
