Atlas of Natural Hazards in the Hawaiian Coastal Zone

"Our ultimate goal is to make the Hawaiian coast a safer place by educating the people of the state, and their leaders, about the hazardous nature of the environment. In doing this, we will also be taking steps toward improved preservation of coastal environments because the best way to avoid costly and dangerous mistakes in terms of lives and property is to avoid inappropriate development in the coastal zone." - Quote from Dr. Bruce Richmond, a scientist and co-author of the new U.S. Geological Survey report, "Atlas of Natural Hazards in the Hawaiian Coastal Zone" found at http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/I-map/i2761/
