Mount Rainier Hazards Assessment Report - 1998
-- Hoblitt, et.al., 1998,
Volcano Hazards from Mount Rainier, Washington, Revised 1998:
USGS Open-File Report 98-428.
This report (1) explains the various types of hazardous geologic phenomena that could occur at Mount Rainier, (2) shows areas that are most likely to be affected by the different phenomena, (3) estimates the likelihood that the areas will be affected, and (4) recommends actions that can be taken to protect lives and property. It builds upon and revises a similar document prepared by D.R. Crandell in 1973. Our revision was motivated by the availability of new information about Mount Rainier's geologic history, by advances in the field of volcanology, and by the need to assess hazards in a more quantitative manner than in Crandell's pioneering report.
