The goal of this project was to evaluate land characteristics and identify areas that may require further ground analysis to confirm susceptibility to geological hazards. For simplicity, the term “landslides” will be used as a generic term to describe geological hazards.
Understanding the locations of these potentially sensitive sites may help in protecting aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, public safety, community drinking water, road infrastructure, and economic opportunities. It may also help in identifying areas where mitigation efforts may reduce the impacts of geological processes.
