Coping with Earthquakes
|
From our contacts with people in Canterbury, it appears that Christchurch residents are reacting to the earthquake as we would have expected; that is, they are, generally, taking it in their stride. Some, though, would have been already vulnerable prior to the earthquake, which acted as a triggering event for an increase in their anxiety. This page contains a list of resources that might be helpful.
