AIPG has prepared this book to educate potential homeowners about geologic hazards and geologic processes in the hope that an increased awareness of such hazards will help them avoid the misfortune of having their dream house become a financial nightmare. Geologic hazards are natural processes that threaten people and proeprty. When individuals and communities build or develop, ignoring the geologic characteristics of the area, resulting losses can be measured in both lives and dollars. The general public may prevent many of these losses by seeking, and taking advantage of, available geologic knowledge prior to purchasing a home or property.
