United Nations looking for more countries to follow New Zealand's lead

While New Zealand is still taking stock of the lessons that have been learned from dealing with the devastating earthquake that struck Christchurch one year ago, Jonathan Andrews from the United Nations Development Programme's Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery cites the country among world-leaders in disaster preparedness, as reported by 3 News. "New Zealand is well up there in terms of exactly taking these issues to heart and being prepared. Very good search and rescue standards, very good building codes," he says, adding that the UN are struggling to have other countries adopt a similar approach.
