Summary
Abstract: Mitigation is superior to post-disaster response in reducing the billions of
dollars in losses resulting from U.S. natural disasters, and information that
predicts the varying likelihood of geologic hazards can help public agencies
improves the necessary decision making on land use and zoning. Accordingly,
this map was created to increase the resistance of one urban area, metropolitan
Oakland, ... View entire text

Use Constraints Uses of this digital landslide susceptiblity map should not violate
the spatial resolution of the data. Although the digital form of the
data removes the constraint imposed by the scale of a paper map, the
detail and accuracy inherent in map scale are also present in the
digital data. The fact that this database was edited for a scale of
