Landslide Hazards Program

The Landslide Hazards Program, managed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), focuses on understanding and mitigating landslide risks. It involves research to identify where landslides are likely to occur and to assess their impact on communities and the environment. The program provides data, maps, and tools to help local governments and the public prepare for and respond to landslides. By combining scientific study with practical applications, the program aims to reduce damage and enhance public safety in landslide-prone areas.
