New Zealand extends post-quake state of emergency

Days after a disastrous earthquake in New Zealand, officials extend a state of emergency for another week. Emergency teams are busy rebuilding the city of Christchurch that was hit by the 7.1 magnitude quake. Bob Parker, the city's mayor, said Wednesday it would be days before the city is back to normal. I've declared a local state of emergency in the city. We did that just a few hours after the initial earthquake. It was due for review today. We've reviewed that carefully and we've decided to extend it for another week.Saturday's earthquake crumbled buildings and tore apart roads leaving more than 300 people without a place to live. Although power has been restored to 90 percent of the city, officials say some 500 people in rural areas are still without electricity. There have been about 135 aftershocks so far. No casualties have been reported.
