EQC wants to close contents claims by February

6:40 pm on 15 January 2013

The Earthquake Commission wants Christchurch residents making claims for quake-damaged contents to get their paperwork in by the end of January.

It will be two years ago on 22 February since a 6.3-magnitude quake killed 182 people.

The commission says it has closed 80% of contents claims in Canterbury.

It now wants residents to complete and send in a Schedule of Contents form and any supporting documentation before February so it can process those claims.
