A GIS-based landslide inventory management system has recently been developed for the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT). The system has two main components: a state-wide spatial database that is easily accessible to engineers, planners, and others; and the ability to produce landslide thematic maps for the visualization of landslide information on the Internet.

Recommended Procedures for Implementation of Department of Mines and Geology Special Publication 117 Guidelines for Analyzing and Mitigating Landslide Hazards in California

Edited by T.F. Blake, R.A. Hollingsworth and J.P. Steward2002132pp.Free

With the implementation of the Seismic Hazards Mapping Act in California, general guidelines for evaluating and mitigating seismic hazards in California were published by the California Department of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology (DMG), in 1997 as Special Publication 117. Officials of the City of Los Angeles requested assistance in the development of procedures to implement DMG requirements. SCEC convened a committee to develop such procedures, and has recently published the resulting recommendations.
