The USGS Landslide Hazards Program is supporting a new working group for professionals who deal with landslide hazard risk reduction at the regional to local scale. The intended participants of the working group include emergency managers, geoscientists, planners, and other professionals. The group will gather virtually to share best practice methods, develop collaborations, enhance communication, enable training opportunities, and inspire the co-creation of new initiatives.

The first virtual meeting will be held:
Thursday November 14th from 3:00-4:30pm Eastern Time.
Occupying the virtual space, this working group is meant to complement and extend other professional groups dedicated to landslide hazards risk reduction work.
