Monitoring 7.2 Magnitude Earthquake Outside Of Christchurch, New Zealand

We are tracking the situation in Christchurch, New Zealand after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck outside of the city at 4:35am local time. We will continue to monitor reports leading up to our CrisisCamp Marathon Weekend this weekend, which we had initially put together to assist the Pakistan flood relief efforts, but anyone that wishes to also volunteer to also assist in whatever support needs arise from the Christchurch quake, we will almost certainly be at least increasing our monitoring/news gathering efforts this weekend around this latest disaster. Please follow us on Twitter at @crisiscamp for more updates.

There are two places right now that you can add reports and/or suggestions:
