Would you survive if the big one hit? Aftershock is a special drama event which follows four groups of people after Wellington is destroyed by a magnitude 8.2 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Through these very ordinary characters’ experiences, Aftershock forces us all to ask; “What would I do if that were me? How would I react? Am I prepared? Would I survive?”

Factual TV follow-up: Would You Survive?
TV3 Thursday 9 October 9.30pm
In the follow-up to the telefeature Aftershock, we test the average Kiwi’s preparedness for a natural disaster – and ability to survive if the worst happens. Aftershock – Would You Survive? puts an ordinary Kiwi family through their own personal disaster, challenging them at every turn as their world is literally shaken-up and then they’re made to cope in a disaster zone with no help, for three long days. While a disaster response specialist, Dave Neru, guides them when necessary, the family is largely left to their own devices and whatever resources they can salvage – or scavenge. Read about the family’s experience.
