With their lunar landscapes, fiery furnaces and ash deserts, volcanoes are symbols of destruction and desolation. Yet millions of men and women now live near these time bombs. Because beneath volcanoes lie some of earth's most amazing treasures. Japanese fertile lands with unparalleled yields, water reservoirs irrigating the whole of Sicily, deposits of precious materials such as the sulfur of an Indonesian volcano or clean and sustainable sources of energy in New Zealand: all attest of the immeasurable wealth hidden beneath the brimstone giants. However, the treasures of volcanoes are hard-earned; they are only awarded to the bravest and most steadfast of peoples.

Planning for Floods
written by James Brown, fl. 1974 and George C. Stoney, 1916-2012; directed by James Brown, fl. 1974 and George C. Stoney, 1916-2012; produced by George C. Stoney, 1916-2012, Environmental Defense Fund and Documentary Educational Resources (DER) (Watertown, MA: Documentary Educational Resources (DER), 1974), 29 mins
The distribution and use of Planning for Floods by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) spread the message of public environmental responsibility well beyond the immediate community of the Mississippi River. It anticipates by more than 30 years the present concerns about global warming.
