caption_attribution_description: English: Landslide in Puriwheriro Lane, Redcliffs, Christchurch, triggered by the 2011 Christchurch earthquake.
context_page_description: Redcliffs is an outer coastal suburb of Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand.
context_section_description: In contrast to the September 2010 earthquake, Redcliffs and the surrounding hills suffered significant damage in the 22 February 2011 earthquake. Dozens of houses were deemed unliveable and hundreds more damaged. There was a large scale evacuation of several streets in Redcliffs at 10pm on Thursday, 24 February after some cliffs surrounding Redcliffs were deemed unstable. The following morning, a few streets or partial streets remained cordoned off but many people were able to return to their homes immediately.
  By 7 March, detailed geotechnical inspections of the affected land inside the remaining cordons began with a view to removing them. They were removed on 8 March.
  In the meanwhile, Redcliffs citizens experiencing a near-total information-vacuum from officialdom launched a local information centre on 26 February, followed by a regular newsletter from 27 February, followed by two support websites.
  On 2 March, Redcliffs resident Peter Hyde launched a viral call to encourage more support, especially key supplies and information, for the worst affected Eastern suburbs of Christchurch. In particular those to the north of Redcliffs such as Parklands, Aranui, Bromley, Avonside, Bexley and New Brighton.
