This chapter extends only to examples of MHM; it does not address the limitations of the individual hazard maps or other hazard information transferred onto the MHM. The following discussions are directed not only to MHM users but to MHM makers for three reasons: (1) makers are users of the individual hazard maps or other information and must be ju...
Multiple hazard maps are an important tool in the integrated development planning process. When combined with the critical facilities map discussed in Chapter 7, they become a key determinant in locating and funding new development. Failure to consider all of the natural hazards in the development planning process and to provide for their reduction...
