  Description:
    Abstract:
      A severe storm on June 27, 1995 triggered hundreds of rock,
      debris and soil slides from the steep hillsides Madison
      County, Virginia. Most of these transformed into debris
      flows that inundated areas downslope causing damage to
      structures, roads, utilities, livestock and crops. This
      study contains an analysis of areas susceptible to debris
      flows including an examination of source areas, channels
      and areas of deposition. This project has been prepared in
      cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
    Purpose:
      These analyses are used to develop a methodology for
      identifying areas subject to debris-flow hazards in Madison
      County, Virginia.
    Supplemental_Information:
      Arcinfo export files (*.e00), and ArcView GIS data
      coverages and an interactive web page presentation of the
      June 27, 1995 storm in Madison County, Virginia are
      presented on this CD-ROM.
