Hurricane Disaster Response Maps

The Natural Resources Conservation Service has generated maps in response to recent natural disasters along the Gulf Coast.  Also, it has developed contingency maps for the Atlantic Coast. The set of 11 maps includes general and detailed maps showing the suitability of soils for such emergency measures as disposal of the carcasses of large animals. The set also includes maps showing the distribution of animal populations and of land use and land cover.
