Gibbs, A.E. 2002 U.S. Geological Survey Geologic Investigations Series I-2761 Menlo Park, California U.S. Geological Survey http://pubs.usgs.gov/imap/i2761/ Storm Hazard Intensity Level in the coastal zone of Kauai, Hawaii The purpose of this dataset is to provide, in digital format, the information included in the technical hazard maps published in the 'Atlas of Natural Hazards in the Hawaiian Coastal Zone' (Fletcher etal. 2002) for use by citizens, scientists, and regulatory agencies. Data included here were derived from the technical hazard maps published in the 'Atlas of Natural Hazards in the Hawaiian Coastal Zone' (Fletcher etal. 2002) The atlas reports on a program of research that assigns a relative ranking scale to seven natural coastal hazards. The ranking is based on the historical trends and natural factors influencing site vulnerability and hazard intensity in the Hawaiian coastal zone. Information contained within the Atlas is largely based on previous investigations by scientific and engineering researchers and county, state, and federal offices and agencies. The unique aspect of this report is that, to the extent possible, it assimilates prior efforts in documenting Hawaiian coastal hazards and combines existing knowledge into a single comprehensive coastal hazard data set. It is by no means the final word on coastal hazards in Hawaii. Every hazardous phenomenon described, and others such as slope failure and rocky shoreline collapse, need to be more carefully quantified, forecast, and mitigated. The technical hazard maps were constructed for the entire shorelines of the islands of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii at a scale of 1:50,000 (1 inch on the map equals approximately 0.8 miles). The technical map series displays the nominal relative intensity (on a ranked scale of 1 to 4, where 4 is most intense; overall hazard assessment is on a ranked scale of 1 to 7, where 7 is most intense) of each of the seven hazards following a set of specific definitions. 1994 2002 publication date Complete as needed -159.81 -159.27 22.23 21.85 USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:32dfccd9-02bb-4cdc-8643-c8fba059b66b None Hawaii island storms coastal coast hazard level ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans oceans and estuaries oceans and coastal geoscientificInformation Marine Realms Information Bank (MRIB) keywords agents of coastal change storms coastal processes USGS Thesaurus storms coastal processes risk assessment hazards Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) Continental/Island Shore Complex None Hawaii Oahu Molokai Lanai Maui Kauai Pacific Island Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) Hawaii Ecoregion Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) Substrate none Please recognize the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), University of Hawaii School of Ocean, Earth Science, and Technology (UH-SOEST), State of Hawaii Office of Planning, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as the collective sources of this information.

The line file was subset into seperate lines for each island,and the topology was then "cleaned up" using an ESRI sample script. The line was then dynamically segmented according to the exisiting coastal hazard atlas. none 2002 none Bruce Richmond US Geological Survey, CMG Geologist mailing and physical address
