- **Liquefaction was mapped here after the September 2010 earthquake**, [Liquefied in September 2010](https://www.chch.live/liquefaction) · The survey recorded this as uncertain rather than certain. Mapped from aerial imagery and site visits after the event, this is a record of what happened, not a model of what might.
- **Technical category TC3**, [Foundation category](https://www.chch.live/technical-categories) · Moderate to significant land damage from liquefaction is possible in future significant earthquakes _Foundations: Site-specific geotechnical investigation and specific engineering foundation design required eg deep pile foundations, innovative ground strengthening, etc_

### Water
- **Inside the modelled 10-year flood extent**, [Flood risk, 10 year](https://www.chch.live/flood-hazard) · Avon catchment · 10 Year · A 10-year event is one expected about once a decade, not a rare one.
- **Inside the modelled 50-year flood extent**, [Flood risk, 50 year](https://www.chch.live/flood-hazard) · Avon catchment · 50 Year
- **Inside the modelled 200-year flood extent**, [Flood risk, 200 year](https://www.chch.live/flood-hazard) · Avon catchment · 200 Year · climate change modelled to 2123
