Christchurch Mayoral Flood Taskforce
10/03/2015
In early 2014 Christchurch had the heaviest sequence of rainfall since the 1970s. Several large rainstorms fell in the city, saturating the ground, raising river and stream levels, and flooding homes, properties and streets. In many areas flooding was made worse by damage from the 2010-11 Canterbury earthquake sequence.
