The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's thermal springs map displays the location and temperature of thermal springs throughout the U.S. The hot springs shown on the map are color-coded based on recorded temperature (red = boiling, orange = hot, yellow = warm, black = information not available). Users can click on individual hot spring locations to find the hot spring name, location, and most recently recorded temperature.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service Watch, Warning, and Advisory Display map shows up-to-date weather warnings and advisories for the continental U.S. The map covers a wide range of weather hazards including tornadoes, thunderstorms, hurricanes, tropical storms, flash and coastal floods, blizzards, winter storms, snow, freezing rain and ice storms, and high winds.

Users can click on individual parts of the map for more specific information down to the county level.

The Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology's Great Basin Geothermal Energy web app provides a large amount of information on geothermal energy in Nevada. The map includes:

The California Geological Survey's interactive geological map allows users to identify the different rock types and fault lines throughout California.

The U.S. Geological Survey's WaterWatch program maps below-normal 7-day average streamflow, identified through comparison to historical streamflow readings, to produce their DroughtWatch map. The map identifies drought conditions ranging from extreme hydrological droughts to below normal streamflow conditions across the entire U.S.

The U.S. Geological Survey's Volcanoes and Current Activity Alerts map shows the location and activity levels of all volcanoes in the United States. The map allows for filtering based on both location and current volcano status. Each volcano is depicted by a small colored triangle with different colors indicating various volcano alert levels:

• Green = normal
• Yellow = advisory
• Orange = watch
• Red = warning

Users can click on individual volcanoes to see that volcano's page on the USGS website.

The California Geological Survey's interactive landslide map displays landslide locations and links to detailed landslide maps and reports for select Californian regions. The type of landslide reports vary by area and include both historical and recent landslide information.
