It's been nearly a year since the most devastating of the earthquakes which have struck the Canterbury region.
In the lead-up to the anniversary of the February 22 6.3 earthquake, nzherald.co.nz is looking at how many residents left the Christchurch/Canterbury area, when they left and where they went.
We want
to hear about your experiences, whether you have moved within the Christchurch or Canterbury area, elsewhere in New Zealand or whether you moved overseas.
You can fill out this short form to help us track the migration of quake-affected residents. You can also share with us how life has been since you moved.
