(Christchurch, New Zealand) To categorize as too damaged to repair, and requiring the owners to vacate (a property).

And in the event their land is red-zoned, at least they know they will ultimately get a new house under their AMI insurance policy.
Origin: From the system of classifying areas of Christchurch, New Zealand as red zone (irreparable), green zone (reparable), or orange zone (more investigation needed) after the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
