The working week has begun in Christchurch but people in many parts of the city speak of an eerie quiet, with the streets still strewn with rubble and shattered glass.

No buses are running and thousands of people are off work because the central business district remains cordoned off; some 90 buildings in this area have yet to be declared safe and police say there's a risk from falling masonry and glass.

Some residents are still without anywhere to stay; around 150 people had to spend another night in welfare centers. Schools are closed and sew ageis leaking from broken pipes, threatening water supplies. Officials from the Ministry of Civil Defence say aftershocks have continued since Saturday, and the threat of more – up to a magnitude of six – will remain for the next week. Predicted gale-force winds never made it to Christchurch on Sunday, but there's been heavy rain, doing nothing to help the clean up efforts.
