Resource Abstract:
- description: This map identifies the principal areas in the San Francisco Bay region that are likely to produce debris flows,
which are also called "mudslides." Debris flows that occur in the bay region are fast-moving downslope flows of
mud that may include rocks, vegetation, and other debris. These flows begin during intense rainfall as shallow landslides
on steep slopes. The rapid movement and sudden arrival of debris flows pose a hazard to life and property during and immediately
following the triggering rainfall. Debris flows in a given storm originate from a number of sources scattered throughout steep
parts of the landscape, as shown in figure 1 (on map sheet; files sfbr- df.ps, al-df.ps, etc.). During subsequent storms,
new debris flows originate from different sources. These various sources, however, are similar in topographic form because
debris-flow initiation requires steep slopes and prefers concave parts of hillsides.; abstract: This map identifies the principal
