Using satellite imagery, the USGS was able to map more than 23,000 landslides that were triggered by the strong shaking across the island of Hispaniola from the 2010 Haiti quake.

New USGS map shows where landslides are most likely to occur in U.S. ... Higher landslide susceptibility is evident across most mountainous terrain within the U.S., ...

According to the USGS, previous attempts at creating a comprehensive susceptibility map also underestimated the hazards present in areas with moderately sloping terrain, despite those areas being ...
