Landslides in New Jersey [New Jersey]

Description:

This Landslides data contains point and other attributes for historic and recent landslide locations in New Jersey mapped by the New Jersey Geological Survey (NJGS). The landslides have occurred in many parts of the state and include slumps, debris flows, rockfalls and rockslides. Landslides in New Jersey are a geologic hazard in areas with steep to moderate slopes or geologic units prone to failure. They cause damage to utilities, property, and transportation routes. The average annual direct and indirect cost of New Jersey landslides is likely in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. New Jersey landslides have also caused fatalities and injuries. The landslides are caused by heavy rains, weathering, ocean waves, quarrying and construction activities.
