CFTIlandslides, Italian database of historical earthquake-induced landslides.

Knowing the location, the extent and the characteristics of any earthquake-induced environmental phenomena is becoming an increasingly pressing need for civil protection agencies and local administrations. In particular, earthquake-triggered landslides may cause significant losses and may delay rescue operations across large areas. The CFTIlandslides was designed as "work in progress", and as such it is open to later additions and improvements in future releases. This first version of the database features over 1,000 landslides, subdivided into classes based on location accuracy and type of movement. It is addressed to a large audience of potential users, including researchers and scholars, administrators and technicians belonging to local institutions, and civil protection authorities.
