Natural Hazards (Tectonics) Case Study - Earthquake in a HIC - Christchurch earthquake

Video outlining the major primary vs secondary impacts/effects and short vs long term responses to a tectonic hazard in a rich part of the world. The video encourages links to be made between the impacts and responses, and also suggests types of exam questions that may come up on the topic.

I was actually born in Christchurch and was in town when the earthquake hit. I was in the suburbs though because I was only 7 and I was at school but I remember that day very clearly.

wouldn't death be secondary or tertiary as it is normally a result of a building crash! which is an effect of a primary effect in itself?

[@dhsgeography273]

Mantoxy Co this is a valid point and bone of contention. Our arguement is that deaths caused by the ground movement and its impact are primary whereas longer term causes of death such as the spread of cholera are secondary.
