If there is interest in data centre provisioning or construction, disaster planning or inside/outside plant strategies intended to mitigate damage by earthquakes then the NZNOG list might well be a good English-language place to get some advice. Earthquakes of magnitude 4 and up happen pretty regularly (several times per week is common). http://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/quakes/recent_quakes.html http://www.nznog.org/ Joe
