Name: KGS Landslide Inventory - Feb 2025 Storm Event
Display Field: Quad_name_75
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPoint
Description: These landslides were documented primarily through the social media accounts of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Offices and Kentucky Emergency Management. A few locations were documented through traditional media sources and the public. 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).

Name: KGS Landslide Inventory - July 2022 Storm Event points
Display Field: Quad_name
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPoint
Description: These landslides were documented by the KGS as a field reconnaissance effort following a series of storms that occurred between July 25 and July 30, 2022. We documented landslides from late August to early November 2022 using (1) visual field inspection methods and (2) a remote sensing technique called normalized differencing vegetation index (NDVI). 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. 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).
