| Short description: The monitoring of landslides and avalanches includes an overview of spatial and temporal distribution of such events, their number, type and size. An event inventory is particularly critical after a warning for risks of landslides or avalanches, to evaluate if the warning level and the warning area were correct and to improve the forecasting capabilities. NVE operates a national database, in cooperation with other national institutes, where everybody can register landslide events. Due to the diverse level of expertise of users registering the event, data is reviewed and validated by NVE experts. |
