USGS researchers have been working closely with local collaborators to improve the understanding of rainfall-induced landslides in Puerto Rico by studying landslides triggered by events of extreme rainfall, such as Hurricane Maria. Using remote sensing techniques and field observations, scientists can illustrate landslide parameters such as size, failure mode and style, mobility of debris slides, flows of geologic material, location, and timing. Using this information, as well as other important factors such as proximity to roads and streams, local scientists and USGS scientists have worked together to model landslide susceptibility and create maps showing landslide hazards in Puerto Rico. With these maps, stakeholders can identify high-priority areas and share resources with communities that have a high likelihood of being adversely impacted.
