    How should the USGS prioritize which regions to map first if funding or staff resources are limited?

  2. 02

    What specific types of sinkhole data would be most useful for your local emergency managers and city planners to have access to?

  3. 03

    Who should bear the costs if a community wants more detailed sinkhole mapping than the federally funded program provides?
