Landslide Susceptibility
Average SI Category
About this map: This depiction of rain induced landslide hazard across Puerto Rico utilizes data collected and analyzed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Landslide Hazard Program. The hexagonal grids utilized in this representation of landslide susceptibility provide a standardized method for overlaying multiple hazards each with different spatial representations. Average (susceptibility index (SI) value from the USGS report is calculated for each hexagonal grid, representing 0.5 sq miles, and is symbolized using an equal interval classification scale. |
