Killer Quake

Killer Quake

Natural disasters have battered the earth in recent years – earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, wildfires and tornadoes. It seems nowhere is safe. Disaster can strike unexpectedly in seconds.
Killer Quake is the story of one of those disasters. It is a personal account by Bob Parker, Mayor of Christchurch, New Zealand, about living during one of the most relentless bombardments Mother Nature has inflicted on any community.
Christchurch experienced more than 11,000 earthquakes over an 18 months period. One quake took the lives of 180 people, reduced much of the picturesque city to rubble, made 10,000 people homeless, and caused damage estimated at $30 billion.
The earthquakes were New Zealand’s 9/11. Bob Parker’s leadership throughout this ordeal earned him comparisons to New York’s Mayor, Rudi Giuliani.
This is a harrowing account of living in the equivalent of a war zone, of courage and heroism, the generosity of the human spirit and the pettiness of politics.
It provides a unique glimpse of how to manage a disaster and precautions that should be taken to survive one.
