Initial rescues were civilian, but the brigades were not far behind, with army presence within hours. My son (New Brighton brigade) spent afternoon then most of night in town, home here (He had and still does not have power, water or sewerage) for a shower and a few hours sleep, then back into it. The work now is over to the specialised urban rescue squads, and the (sadly) DVI (Disaster Victim Identification) teams. <br />This is our second big shake, much worse this time.<br />Have a look ... http://www.stuff.co.nz/ and pray it doesn't happen to any of you.<br /><br />Ex SFF Collins.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919517858288537515noreply@blogger.com
