Landslides are a prominent natural hazard across the U.S. globally and can result in fatalities as well as costly and disruptive infrastructure damage. To better understand landslide hazards and risk, we need more accurate assessments of landslide potential across the country.
The NLHM project aims to improve understanding of landslide occurrence, susceptibility, and frequency to produce accurate national-scale maps available to the public and decision makers. It also focuses on understanding landslide impacts and exposure to inform effective and equitable risk reduction strategies.
We aim to assemble comprehensive inventories of landslide occurrence and associated impacts. We also intend to improve regional- and national-scale models of landslide susceptibility, develop preliminary hazard assessments, and begin quantifying landslide risk.
