6.5 million Americans face landslide risks—a new database shows where they live
Landslides cause an estimated $3 billion to $6 billion in damage and multiple fatalities annually in the United States.

Despite the threat, there has never been a systematic, nationwide accounting of who is most at risk from landslides.
