Description

Interviews conducted by the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) between 2015 and 2016 to document CERA's work in the social recovery of post-earthquake Canterbury, analyse lessons learnt, and share experiences. Most interviews are around one hour in duration.

Materials include: proposed interview questions; interview recordings; transcripts of interviews; abstracts of interviews; interviewer notes; media deposit forms; and interview access and consent forms.

The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) Te Mana Haumanu ki Waitaha was established as a government department on 29 March 2011 to lead and coordinate the Government’s response and recovery efforts following the devastating earthquakes of 4 September 2010 and 22 February 2011 in Canterbury.

The CERA Recovery Lessons and Legacy Project (RLL) was established in 2014 to capture and share the lessons and experiences from the establishment and work of CERA. The agency-wide project aimed to 'support the development of long-term legacies from those lessons, to inform future recovery efforts, and national and international resilience.' The project was part of a wider cross-government legacy project hosted by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

Under the umbrella of CERA's RLL project, the Social and Cultural Recovery Group established the Social Recovery Legacy project (SRL) to examine CERA's role in social recovery in post-earthquake Canterbury. See also related website: http://eqrecoverylearning.org/.

CERA was disestablished on 18 April 2016.
