PHGG was subsequently contracted by Christchurch City Council and Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority to map and define the locations of mass movement hazards, such as rockfall and landslide, and to collate geospatial information for use in the rezoning of the city.[3] This information was subsequently used by PHGG in the assessment and mitigation of risks from these types of hazard, where they affected roads, property and infrastructure throughout the region. The information continues to be used in regional and local geotechnical risk assessments.[4]
