I have posted most of the maps from my book on this blog. If you would like to see if your home is located in an area with expansive clay soil – navigate to “Expansive Soils” under catagories in the menu to the right.

Catagory “Fires” has a discussion of the 2007 California fires and things to know about fire restoration.
Catagory “flooding” has information and photographs from Katrina.
