  <dc:description>This map describes the possible hazard from earthquake-induced landslides for the cities of Oakland and Piedmont, CA.  The hazard depicted by this map was modeled for a scenario corresponding to an  M=7.1 earthquake on the Hayward, CA fault.  This scenario magnitude is associated with complete rupture of the northern and southern segments of the Hayward fault, an event that has an&#13;
estimated return period of about 500 years.  The modeled hazard also corresponds&#13;
to completely saturated ground-water conditions resulting from an extreme storm&#13;
event or series of storm events.  This combination of earthquake and&#13;
ground-water scenarios represents a particularly severe state of hazard for&#13;
earthquake-induced landslides.  For dry ground-water conditions, overall hazard&#13;
will be less, while relative patterns of hazard are likely to change.</dc:description>
