There are maps showing the pattern of shallow seismology, and Christchurch generally is not in the quietest areas. The particular sets of recent faults were not known of - they had not revealed their existence previously. But for example the spire of the Christchurch Cathedral had been damaged three times previously by earthquakes. And in more recent times, the regional Authority had issued maps of unstable ground known of in the city area.
However, The Earthquake Commission is well aware of the need for All New Zealanders to be prepared for an earthquake, and each household is expected to have about three days of water and food as an emergency store. This is promoted for example in all the telephone books.
Many folk are quite uncomfortable about preparing for a disaster, and ignore these precautions.
Earthquake commission is doing its efforts to bring the Christchurch back as it was.
