Useful Advice For A Rattled Citizenry

I like the support various governmental entities offer the citizens of Christchurch after the September 4th earthquake, and its aftershocks.

Here, for example, Environment Canterbury, Community and Public Health, Christchurch City Council and Waimakariri District Council all suggest avoiding contact with Avon River water downstream of the City Center, due to a number of sewage line breaks. The coasts (in blue) are OK, though, with the southern half of the Avon/Heathcote estuary (in yellow) OK at high tide, but not at low tide.
