Last week, Peter Dunne. member of parliament and leader of United Future (a New Zealand Political party) got his hands on a list of earthquake prone buildings from Wellington City Council. He published the PDF file on his Facebook page.
I’ve converted this list to a CSV file and uploaded it to a Google Fusion Table, to geolocate the data and output it to a map.
- Red placemarks represent earthquake-prone buildings where a notice under Section 124 of the Building Act 2004 has been issued requiring the building be strengthened.
- Blue markers indicate buildings designated potentially earthquake prone.
To embed the map elsewhere you can use this code:

I’d never heard of Google Fusion Tables. Nice. I ended up using batchgeo.com for mine.
Now to go learn about Google Fusion Tables.
