I. Abstract
The objective of this collection is to build better inventories of
landslides through citizen participation. This project will make it
possible for the public to report their observations of landslides on a
USGS-hosted Web site. The information gathered through the on-line
database will be used to classify the landslides and damage, as well as
provide information to scientists about the location, time, speed, and
size of the landslides. The USGS Landslide Hazards Program has
developed an interactive Web site for public reporting of landslides.
