Summary

From late December 2022 to January 2023, a series of atmospheric river storms produced widespread landsliding in the San Francisco Bay area of California. USGS scientists performed reconnaissance field work to document the extent of landsliding in the region and compiled reports of landslides from media and California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports. This data release documents locations of road cut and shallow hillslope landslides triggered between December 31, 2022 and January 18, 2023. This inventory is not intended to be a complete inventory, but a reporting of observations made with limited time and resources. The point locations include descriptions and associated attributes, described in the metadata. Media and CHP reports supplemented [...]

Purpose

This inventory was collected as a reconnaissance-level effort to determine the extent of landsliding from the December 2022 to January 2023 storms and is provided as a citable reference for addition of this information to the California Geological Survey Reported Landslides Database web map. This inventory is not intended to be a complete inventory of the landslides that occurred in December 2022 to January 2023. The inventory was limited by personnel and time resources and was performed during a time when road access was limited due to closures related to flooding, landslides, and downed trees.
