Media alert (4.15pm, 14 Feb): earthquake in Christchurch

St John has stood down its Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) in Christchurch.

Our call numbers have now returned 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. If you have queries about non-urgent injuries or health issues, Healthline is available (0800 611 116) for free advice from trained registered nurses.

For emergencies call 111.

Unless there are significant changes this is the final update from St John today.

ENDS
