National Landslide Inventory

The National Landslide Inventory (NLI) is a comprehensive database that documents landslide occurrences across the United States. It helps researchers, policymakers, and the public understand where landslides happen, their triggers, and impacts on communities and infrastructure. By collecting and analyzing data on landslides, the NLI aims to improve safety, preparedness, and response to these natural hazards. It serves as a valuable resource for studying landslide patterns and assessing risks, ultimately aiding in better land-use planning and disaster management to protect lives and property.
