National Landslide Information Center

The National Landslide Information Center (NLIC) is a part of the U.S. Geological Survey that focuses on understanding landslides, which are the movement of rock, earth, or debris down a slope. The NLIC collects data, conducts research, and shares information about landslides to help communities assess risks and improve safety. It provides resources for the public and decision-makers, including maps, reports, and tools to predict where landslides might occur. This center plays a crucial role in mitigating the impacts of landslides on people, property, and the environment.
