Private insurers have worked on EQC’s behalf to complete subsequent earthquake damage claims, as well as damage claims from the earthquake of 14 February 2016.
From 1 July 2019, management of most outstanding Kaikōura claims moves from private insurers back to EQC.
Subsequent events
These events are within the scope of the scope of the Kaikoura EQC-insurer agreement:
| Event date | Magnitude | Location | Claim deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22 October 2017 | 5.4 | 10km west of Kaikoura | 22 January 2018 |
| 20 September 2017 | 5.1 | 30km north-east of Seddon | 20 December 2018 |
| 08 September 2017 | 4.3 | 10km north of Culverden | 08 December 2018 |
Agreement with insurers
Our agreement with insurers is called the Kaikōura Memorandum of Understanding and the management of subsequent claims is outlined in a variation to that agreement.
