: Photograph by Neil Macbeth 064; People gathering in the Botanic Gardens after the 22 February 2011 earthquake. For many nearby businesses and organisations, the gardens were the meeting point during an emergency. To the right, the Peacock Fountain can just be seen with scaffolding around it.

: Photograph by Neil Macbeth 065; A police car being used to transport the injured at the corner of Rolleston Avenue and Worcester Boulevard, shortly after the 22 February 2011 earthquake.

: Photograph by Neil Macbeth 066; The Arts Centre photographed shortly after the 22 February 2011 earthquake. A large crack can be seen in the tower and part of the brickwork around the clock has collapsed onto the pavement below. Scaffolding was placed up against the building after the 4 September 2010 earthquake and the gable was braced with wooden planks. This probably limited the damage to this part of the building. The building has been cordoned off with tape reading, 'Danger keep out'. A sign in front of the door reads, 'Site closed'.

: Photograph by Neil Macbeth 068; The outdoor area of the Coffee Corner at the Arts Centre photographed shortly after the 22 February 2011 earthquake. The gable of the building crumbled during the earthquake, falling to the ground and bringing an awning down with it.

: Photograph by Neil Macbeth 069; One end of the Arts Centre photographed shortly after the 22 February 2011 earthquake. The gable of the building has crumbled and fallen to the ground, collapsing an awning. A large crack can be seen in the corner tower. Blue ties can be seen at the top of the tower, used to brace the structure after the 4 September 2010. This has probably limited the damage caused by the 22 February 2011 earthquake.

: Photograph by Neil Macbeth 070; A police officer directing traffic on the intersection of Worcester and Montreal Streets shortly after the 22 February 2011 earthquake. People can be seen on either side of the street, attempting to exit town and make their way home.
