Visual field inspection occurred primarily along roads through documentation of landslide type and location. Although there were certainly more, our allotted time allowed us to identify more than 1,000 new landslides and debris flows triggered by the July event. The majority of landslides identified were shallow translational slides, supplemented by some rotational slides (slumps), and debris flows. </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-size:16pt"><SPAN>The points represent larger landslide areas that have not been mapped in detail and may fall within different parts of the slide area (crown, head scarp, middle, or toe).
