Earthquake Disaster Hazard Map for Kathmandu

I've written before about the risks of earthquakes in Nepal and some of my ideas to mitigate them (here and here).  Attached below is a map to find out your risk level against earthquakes in Kathmandu for your neighborhood.  Red means the area has the highest risk for liquefaction and green means the lowest.

someone told me it wasn't obvious so i'll just spell it out - to zoom in (and you'll have to do that to read details) click on the plus button on the map.

Is there a normal, fullsize jpeg version of the map anywhere. Not enjoying looking at it through this prison cell window...

@koji - click on the plus on the top right of the widget and it will bring up the image in "full screen".
