Abstract:
USGS has provided preliminary framework consisting of a website featuring both technical and socioeconomic landslide information, from individual state surveys and the U.S. Geological Survey and relevant information from other sources. The primary organizing entity is The Landslide Inventory Steering Committee, composed of members of USGS and State Geological Surveys and other state agencies, which will guide the growth, development, and oversight of a national landslide inventory database website.
The website will also provide a clearinghouse for mapping and data collection techniques utilized by the various agencies and surveys involved. The long-term goal is to promote more consistent landslide mapping and databases nationwide, as well as provide information on innovative mapping techniques.
