The Washington State Department of Ecology recently launched this model site on landslides in the Puget Sound region. It includes information about landslides generally, warning signs, what to do if you have a slide, what to do to prevent slides, and where and how to obtain help. It also lists frequently asked questions (FAQs) and provides slope maps and a slide show on causes, recent occurrences, repair, and prevention of landslides. Much of the information on the site could be useful to people in other regions.
