for any area, it does not matter!.
I want to see how the map represent the zonation and the different colours for the hazard. I found many risk maps for earthquake,floods,tsunami but i could not find any for subsidence.

For what area? I am sure there are many for specific areas.
I typed in "subsidence hazard map" into Yahoo! search and got this: http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv8-msgr&p=subsidence%20hazard%20map&type=

I believe that most of the areas subject to subsidence are not within metropolitan areas and are even identified as such to preclude inclusion in "Buildable" land.
subsidence is not a very large category of hazard for this reason.
