   Visualization and transparency is set by default, but user can change and personalize it. Once dowloaded, you can expand the file "hazard.kmz" from the left lateral panel and select the desired hazard zonation. You can visualize only one layer at a time (choose the layer by clicking on the radio buttons). For each layer there is an explanatory note, with references and comments. Reference can be found in the Publications link
