Where would I find a map of projected mud flows, floods and general path of destruction if Mt Rainier blew ?

Dear Steve,

"Debris Flow, Debris Avalanche, and Flood Hazards At and Downstream from Mount Rainier," consists of maps showing potential areas and probabilities of inundation, and was published as "USGS Hydrologic Investigations Atlas 729," by K.M. Scott and J.W.Vallance. The U.S. Geological Survey's Cascade Volcano Observatory homepage provides lots of useful information on these hazards and on Mount Rainier.
