I developed a probabilistic landslide model for the southern East Bay
hills (Fremont, Union City, Milpitas) several years ago (not EQ
induced).  I lost it and a lot of other code in a disk failure and lack
of recent backups (my bad), but I could recreate a good portion of it
from memory.

I have not attempted liquefaction, yet.

You may also want to try to obtain old HAZUS (pre HAZUS-MH) software for
GRASS 5.x.  They no longer update or support GRASS and aside from
developers, my experience has been that FEMA is generally clueless.
USGS may also share their models as they do not use HAZUS.

FYI, the notice is not terribly appropriate for a public (archived)
mailing list.  There is no implicit or implied privacy here.
