Earthquake loading standards have changed overtime in New Zealand and many existing buildings may not meet the seismic resistance requirements of the present day. Councils around New Zealand use the earthquake-prone building (EPB) methodology to identify and require an assessment from owners of the buildings falling under any of the following three profile categories.

A: buildings with a significant amount of unreinforced brick, block, or stone masonry (URM)
B: buildings built before 1976, which are 12 m tall or higher
C: buildings built before 1935 that do not fall into profile A

Hutt Valley is a sediment-filled basin fanning from Taita to Petone, with Wellington fault running along the base of its Western hills, Otaki fault running through Western Hills, and Whitemans Valley fault through its Eastern suburbs. Additionally, liquefaction risk is high in areas around Petone, Seaview, and reduces in suburbs farther away from the shore towards hills.
