This study compiled and tabulated all relevant available information on earthquake sources (active faults) in Canterbury and mapped the fault locations onto 1:50,000 or 1:250,000 overlays on topographic maps (later digitised into the Environment Canterbury active faults database). The study also reviewed information on historic earthquakes, instrumental seismicity and paleoseismic studies and identified information gaps. It recommended an approach for a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and development of earthquake scenarios. See Object Overview for background and usage information.
This report was the first report in the district series, and has a different format to later reports. It includes all natural hazards, not only earthquake hazards. It describes earthquake, flooding, meteorological, landslide and coastal hazards within Hurunui district and gives details of historic events. It includes district-scale (1:250,000) active fault and flood hazard maps. The report describes an earthquake scenario for a magnitude 6.9 earthquake near Cheviot, as well as flooding, meteorological, landslide, coastal erosion, storm surge, and tsunami scenarios. See Object Overview for background and usage information.
