today christchurch and some of cantubury have had 5+ magnitude aftershocks and some of us need tips on how to stay calm through it so this is for the not-so-calm folks who still arn't used to it yet.

Stay away from most of the wreckage, it may trigger anxiety- don't stay in buildings. If there is an aftershock any buildings that have not crumbled yet will. It's not earthquakes that kill, it's the buildings.

Hi, i'm a chch resident so I can help...

* As stupid as it sounds, stay calm. If music for example calms you down, listen to your mp3 player/ ipod.
* Try not to freak out if you can't get through to someone's cellphone, power goes out alot here, don't worry.
* Don't do anything stupid, don't run up and down a coridoor screaming " We're all gonna dieeeee! " It freaks people out...
* Talk about something else, the more off topic the better.
* Or make it into a game, get everyone to guess how big it wasthen go check geonet
^ That's all for now Might post more later.
