Identifying Needs and Areas for Future Landslide Hazard Mapping in Norway

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Landslide Science and Practice

Abstract

The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) in collaboration with the Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU) has worked to produce a national mapping plan to identify future needs and priorities for landslide and snow avalanche susceptibility and hazard mapping in Norway. Preliminary results are herein presented. The plan will help the national and local authorities to direct efforts and economical resources for the realization of future hazard maps.
