Landslide inventory mapping

Landslide inventory mapping involves creating a detailed record of all known landslides in a specific area. This process uses tools like aerial images, satellite photos, and field surveys to identify where landslides have occurred, how large they are, and their types. The goal is to understand patterns and factors that contribute to landslides, helping communities assess risk, plan for future events, and implement safety measures. Essentially, it’s a way of charting past landslides to inform better land use and hazard management strategies.
