Natural Hazards
“Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and now Wilma have given us all a lesson about the destructive force of natural hazards. We are fortunate that all USGS employees are safe. USGS is committed to rapidly providing our scientific expertise for the recovery efforts, this is not only a scientific endeavor, but a matter of public safety and public health.” P. Patrick Leahy |
