Description: Shows a young man and woman standing on a porch preparing their earthquake survival kit and asking if there's "Anything else we've forgotten?" while the woman looks up towards a precarious cityscape featuring a sharp slope, pole houses and cantilevered parking spaces. Wider context refers to calls for residents of Wellington to have an adequate disaster response plan and kit ready in the event of a major earthquake. The cartoonist describes the work as: "A slightly ironic look at my current living situation here in Wellington. Being surrounded in precarious carports [and] creaking hillside villas makes you wonder just how well one can prepare for the big one." Cory Mathis was the winner of the New Zealand Cartoon Archive and Listener Young Cartoonist Award in 2013. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
