New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model

Target entity: New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model
Context triple: [Hikurangi subduction margin, riskAssessmentFocus, New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model]

• A. USGS National Seismic Hazard Model
  The USGS National Seismic Hazard Model is a comprehensive, nationwide assessment that estimates the likelihood and intensity of earthquake shaking across the United States to inform building codes, risk mitigation, and public safety planning.
• B. New Zealand active fault database
  The New Zealand active fault database is a national geospatial and scientific resource that compiles detailed information on the location, characteristics, and activity of known active faults across New Zealand for research and hazard assessment.
• C. New Zealand volcano monitoring network
  The New Zealand volcano monitoring network is a nationwide system of instruments and observation programs that continuously track volcanic activity to provide early warning and support hazard assessment across the country’s active volcanoes.
• D. 2011 Christchurch earthquake sequence
  The 2011 Christchurch earthquake sequence was a series of powerful and destructive earthquakes in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, centered on and around Christchurch, causing widespread damage, loss of life, and long-term impacts on infrastructure and communities.
• E. GeoNet
  GeoNet is New Zealand’s national geological hazard monitoring network and information service, tracking earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and related natural hazards.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
