The U.S. Geological Survey and the California Geological Survey have announced two new digital geologic maps of the densely populated section of the San Francisco Bay area. These maps are designed to give the general public as well as land-use planners, utilities and lifeline owners, and emergency response officials, new and better tools to assess their risk from earthquake damage.You can see the maps here.
