Liquefaction vulnerability

Overview This feature service provides detailed spatial data on liquefaction vulnerability within selected regional areas of New Zealand. Liquefaction is a geotechnical hazard where saturated soils lose strength and behave like a liquid, often triggered by seismic events. Feature Layers Liquefaction Vulnerability: This layer characterizes the liquefaction susceptibility across the region using a classification system with seven levels of severity. It is based on data compiled from multiple regional council sources to represent local variations in soil behavior during seismic shaking. Geographic Coverage The dataset covers regional areas in New Zealand, focusing on regions within the extents of the service. It serves as an essential resource for planners, engineers, and emergency management professionals working to assess geological hazards.
