Learning from the Canterbury earthquake recovery
As we approach the anniversary of the 2010 Canterbury earthquake, we reflect on our work auditing the Canterbury earthquake recovery, and the lessons from Canterbury.
We have shared our work internationally with organisations from Japan and Peru. We encourage public entities to use the lessons from Canterbury to help New Zealand prepare for the next disaster.
Watch this video to hear some of our staff talk about what we did and what we found:
We have published seven reports on the Canterbury earthquake recovery:
- Roles, responsibilities, and funding of public entities after the Canterbury earthquakes;
- Earthquake Commission: Managing the Canterbury Home Repair Programme;
- Effectiveness and efficiency of arrangements to repair pipes and roads in Christchurch;
- Earthquake Commission: Managing the Canterbury Home Repair Programme – follow-up audit;
- Governance and accountability for three Christchurch rebuild projects;
- Effectiveness and efficiency of arrangements to repair pipes and roads in Christchurch – follow-up audit; and
- Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority: Assessing its effectiveness and efficiency.
