The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $598,500 Project Grant under the USGS Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). This two-year grant will fund the creation of a comprehensive landslide inventory for a 250 square mile area in western Clark County, Washington. The DNR will use LiDAR technology to map landslides, alluvial fans, and rock fall deposits in the targeted region. The resulting geodatabase and final report will be added to the Washington State Landslide Inventory Database, increasing awareness of landslide hazards and assisting local planners, emergency managers, and public works departments in their risk mitigation efforts. The DNR plans to coordinate closely with stakeholders such as county/city officials, public safety agencies, utilities, and tribal nations to ensure the landslide data is leveraged to enhance community resilience and safety.
