Significantly, the process will enable researchers to look more closely at behaviours, as well as the social and physical contexts associated with injury risk during and immediately following earthquake shaking.Īrdagh MW, Richardson SK, Robinson V, Than M, Gee P, Henderson S, Khodarverdi L, Mckie J, Robertson G, Schroeder P, Deely JM (2012) The initial health-system response to the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, in February, 2011. Therefore, objective observation of earthquake video data can provide a useful quantitative measure of human behaviour. The results of this initial study indicate the coding methodology can record the distribution of and variation in human behaviours. There were no serious injuries linked to behaviour. Social contextual behaviour varied depending on the role of the adult. Post-event behaviour included: running, walking, providing assistance, moving towards others, visual communication, and some individuals gave instructions. No individuals were observed to perform all ‘Drop, Cover, Hold’ actions, the recommended action during strong earthquake shaking in New Zealand. The primary trans-event responses were to hold (26%) onto furniture, walls, and/or other people close to them and to look around (30%). Sixty-six per cent of the individuals were adult-aged females. A total of 213 individuals from 31 different camera views were analysed. We applied this coding methodology to determine: demography, trans-event behavioural responses, post-event behavioural responses, influence of social context on behaviour, and influence of behaviour on injuries. The coding methodology was applied to security video data captured during the 22 February 2011 M w6.3 ‘Christchurch’ earthquake event from the Christchurch Public Hospital which experienced shaking intensity of MM9 lasting approximately 12–15 s. Closed Circuit Television Earthquake Behaviour Coding Methodology has been developed as a tool to classify human behaviour during and immediately following earthquake shaking using real event video data. However, there is no observational evidence of the actions individuals engage in during and immediately following earthquake shaking, and the context in which earthquake injuries and deaths are caused. ![]() Earthquake epidemiological research indicates that the behavioural response influences the nature and severity of injuries sustained. ![]()
