| dc.description | Responsible local authorities throughout New Zealand anticipate a recurrence of earthquakes which experience and historical records have proven. Some have declared themselves bound by the M.C. Act, Clause 301A, which requires earthquake risk buildings demolished or upgraded to at least a minimal acceptable standard. All are bound to require new buildings to conform to present earthquake resistant codes, and most have established
a Civil Defence organisation. None are programmed to operate upon the advice of the anticipated time of a predicted earthquake. Yet the application of the science of Earthquake Prediction will require not only the total co-operation of Central Government, but even more importantly that of Local Government to align the population to the worthwhileness
of heeding both false and true predictions. | en-US |
