Description

The Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) has been compiling a statewide landslide database for hazard mitigation planning. The AZ Statewide Landslide Inventory Database (AZSLID) contains landslide and mass movement data from published maps and reports as well as newly documented slides identified while building the database. The proximity of landslides to critical infrastructure, utilities, and populated areas is important information not easily accessible prior to creation of the database. AZSLID will be useful to state, local, county, and tribal governments for hazard mitigation and planning purposes.
