Abstract
Description
Until the last decade or so, there were a number of communities in the United States that had very low probabilities for having any kind of natural disaster impacts. However, with the development of a technologically based society, any community now that is near a railroad track, an interstate or major highway, or barge/river traffic, is at risk, even if there are no chemical or nuclear plants in the vicinity.
