• By Susan Sandys EMERGENCY planners expect Selwyn to bounce back quicker than other areas if the Alpine Fault ruptures. New research shows a 75 per cent probability of a rupture on the central section of the Alpine Fault over the next 50 years. There is an 82 per cent chance the earthquake will be magnitude 8 or higher. The district council is confident its civil defence and community response systems are well placed to respond. Civil Defence and emergency management manager Al Lawn said the majority of Selwyn had a relatively new water network with emergency generator back-up systems on critical supplies, so the district could recover more quickly than other areas. He said Arthur’s Pass, as well as Castle Hill and Lake Coleridge, would be the most susceptible parts of the district to damage from landslides, similar to what was seen in the Kaikoura/Hurunui earthquake. “As part of our AF8 community programme we have prepared comprehensive community response plans with these communities, and have equipped them with resources such as radios, satellite phones, emergency water supplies and first aid kits. We also have trained Civil Defence volunteer teams in all these locations,” Lawn said. Water, power and phones would likely be out of action for an extended period of time in some areas. In alpine communities, such Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz as Arthur’s Pass and Castle Hill, rupture of pipelines was likely in a major event. While emergency services are expecting damage on the plains, especially in communities closer to the Alpine Fault such as Darfield and Kirwee, Lawn said it was difficult to forecast impacts specific to any area because this would depend on factors such as the location, strength, length and direction of the earthquake. “We’ve been working with other agencies over a number of years to plan and prepare for the eventuality of a major earthquake. “We’re part of the AF8 programme which is helping communities to build resilience and preparedness, and we also work closely with emergency management groups to co-ordinate our response to any future Alpine Fault event.” The council ran AF8 community education nights, providing information on the likely consequences of such an event , as well as other emergencies. Its planning included developing and resourcing community response teams throughout the district, made up of locals trained to respond. The council provided information and alerted communities to immediate hazards through Selwyn Gets Ready. Lawn encouraged residents to join at selwyn.getsready.net It would shortly be releasing a new booklet on preparing for emergencies. Are You Ready? would be distributed throughout the district. The council would be holding further Get Ready presentations in coming months, covering how to be prepared. These will be at Darfield on May 19, Lincoln on August 18 and Rolleston on November 3. • Make plans, p12 NEWS 11 Quick recovery expected if Alpine Fault ruptures Al Lawn Wednesday April 28 2021 Selwyn Times Keeping safe in an earthquake Drop, Cover and Hold – This stops you being knocked over, makes you a smaller target for falling and flying objects and protects your head, neck and vital organs.
