<br />Walk-in service for the Bureau of Land Management
<br />(BLM) is in Building 46 of the Denver Federal
<br />Center.
<br />
<br />The BLM also has district offices in Craig, Grand
<br />Junction, Montrose, and Canon City. Some of these
<br />offices have indexes and file prints of aerial photograpby
<br />available for their districts.
<br />The BLM office at the Denver Federal Center also
<br />has indexes and file prints of some U.S. Forest Service
<br />(USFS) photography. For more information on USFS
<br />aerial photograpby contact either the BLM office in
<br />Denver or the USFS Regional Office in Salt Lake City,
<br />Utah, at (BOl) 524-5856, or check with individnal USFS
<br />district forest rangers.
<br />In most cases, photographs at these offices will only
<br />be available for viewing. Copies can be ordered.
<br />
<br />Existing hazard mapping
<br />Geologic hazard maps have been prepared for many
<br />areas of the state and some of these maps include land-
<br />slides and debris flows. Most have been prepared at the
<br />1:24,000 scale. Because a comprehensive list of maps
<br />does not exist, county pl.nning offices should be con-
<br />tacted to determine the availability of local maps.
<br />
<br />Information Transfer
<br />Once information users (Table 2) and their needs have
<br />been identified, potential reduction techniques deter-
<br />mined (Chapter 5), and usable and understandable infor-
<br />mation prepared, the next goal is the transference of the
<br />information to the users.
<br />Methods for obtaining and communicating landslide in-
<br />formation are listed in Thble 5 under the headings of
<br />educational, advisory, and review services. These
<br />methods should be used by any landslide information
<br />collection, interpretation, and transferral program
<br />designed for planners and decision-makers. Some of
<br />these. services are provided through universities, state
<br />agenCIes, map sales offices, geologic inquiries staffs, and
<br />public inquiries offices, and in the course of ordinary
<br />day-to-day contacts with the public by the producers of
<br />landslide hazard information. In addition, many research
<br />workers have provided such services on a limited and in-
