The maps and related materials described are intended to serve as tools useful to regional and local planning and decision-making agencies. Part of the information and techniques presented can also be used by those involved in the reduction of flood losses in communities throughout the nation. The section "Planning for flood-loss reduction in the Napa Valley" describes how earth-science information has been used in one area of the Bay region and shows the practical benefits and difficulties of applying such information
