Liquefaction by area

Liquefaction is what soft, water-logged ground does in an earthquake. Below are 69 of the areas we cover, grouped by the wording PHIVOLCS uses for each.

This is not the answer for your own address. For a specific building, use the official tool: HazardHunterPH

PHIVOLCS mapped these in two rounds and the wording differs between them, so the groups below are not one ranked scale. The words are theirs, kept as written.

Each value is read at one point in the centre of the area, not across the whole area. From PHIVOLCS. Acknowledge Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology.
