About the Project
The Hurricane Recovery Act of 2005 (Section 6) directs the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) to ensure that maps indicating areas vulnerable to landslides be made available for the 19 counties designated in the Major Disaster Declarations for Hurricanes Frances and Ivan.
To that end, the NCDEQ and the North Carolina Geological Survey (NCGS) have partnered with UNC Asheville's National Environmental Mapping and Applications Center (NEMAC) to support the data delivery and visualization of accurate, useful, and current landslide hazard data through a variety of web products. NEMAC is working with NCGS to make it easier for various audiences to access, interact with, and understand landslide hazard data.
All electronic and/or hard copy products (maps, data, text, etc.) produced by this landslide hazard mapping program are considered public information and may be freely redistributed and/or copied. These products, however, are intended to serve for general planning purposes only and are provided on an "as is" basis. These maps and products do not substitute for an on-the-ground site assessment by qualified individuals.
