Summary Report: Automated Liquefaction Vulnerability Categories Mapping

This report provides a high-level overview of the Automated Liquefaction Vulnerability Categories (ALVC) map, developed using the National Liquefaction Model. It explains how the map shows where liquefaction is more or less likely across New Zealand, and how it can support planning and community awareness.

The report outlines the map’s categories, intended uses, and key limitations, emphasising that it is for national-scale understanding rather than property-level decisions.

This document is designed for a general audience. Readers needing detailed methods, data and technical guidance should refer to the full AVLC technical report(external link).
