Derived from 1:250,000-scale USGS HUC 8 boundaries, this dataset represents the mass wasting susceptibility for the western USA. A weighted average was created for each HUC 8 watershed using approximate EMAP physical habitat substrate criteria. The values are expressed on a scale of 1 to 3, representing low to high susceptibility to mass wasting based on slope morphology.

Global Landslide Mortality Risks and Distribution is a 2.5 by 2.5 minute grid of global landslide mortality risks. Gridded Population of the World (GPW) Version 3 (beta) data provide a baseline estimation of population per grid cell from which to estimate potential mortality risks due to landslide hazard. Mortality loss estimates per hazard event are caculated using regional, hazard-specific mortality records of the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT) that span the 20 years between 1981 and 2000. Data regarding the frequency and distribution of landslide hazard are obtained from the Global Landslide Hazard Distribution dataset. In order to more accurately reflect the confidence associated with the data and procedures,...
