LANDSLIDE SAFETY
If your home or property was damaged by a landslide from Hurricane Helene, be aware of the warning signs of future landslide activity
WATCH FOR WARNING SIGNS
Signs a landslide may be moving include:
Stephen L. Slaughter
Stephen is the Associate Program Coordinator for the Landslide Hazards and supports the scientific direction and priorities of the Landslide Hazards Program. He also coordinates and supports technical assistance for landslide disasters.
Stephen has worked in landslide hazards since 2002, focusing primarily on landslide inventories, susceptibility and hazard analysis, remote sensing, outreach, and emergency response. His current role is the Associate Program Coordinator for Landslide Hazards, which supports the scientific direction and priorities of the Landslide Hazards Program. He also coordinates landslide technical response for domestic and international landslide disasters. Prior to the USGS, Stephen’s career has varied from consulting forest land managers on harvest-related landslides, working on emergency teams to assess post-wildfire debris flow hazards to downstream communities, consulting emergency managers on significant landslide events, developing and managing a landslide hazards program for the state of Washington, assisting developing countries seeking to improve their existing landslide programs, and producing educational material to help non-scientists understand landslide hazards.

Landslide External Grants
The U.S. Geological Survey provides grants to local, state, territorial, and Tribal governments for risk communication, planning and coordination, mapping and assessments, and data collection of landslide hazards to develop information, knowledge, and methods that leads to the reduction of losses from landslides and increases public safety.

USGS Emergency Management 101: Onsite Communication and Leadership
During a geologic emergency response, scientists can be integral to the response by distilling complex, technical information for decision-makers. As a scientist assigned to an emergency response and a member of an Incident Management Team (IMT), the scientist must understand their role and how they can help decision-makers make informed decisions.
