Media alert (2.15pm, 14 Feb): earthquake in Christchurch
St John has activated its Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) in Christchurch following today’s earthquake.
In the immediate post-quake time period we did have a sharp increase in calls; these mostly related to people with minor injuries from falls as they were running.
Our call numbers have now started to return to normal.
Ambulance services in Christchurch and Canterbury are operating as normal.
We encourage people to check on their neighbours, friends and families, especially those who are aged, ill or who live alone.
This is a developing situation, so there will be further updates in due course.
