... addressed the need for a national approach by preparing the National Landslide Hazards Mitigation Strategy (Spiker and Gori, 2000~. This proposal describes in broad overview the nine major components, ranging from basic research activities to improved public policy measures and enhanced mitigation, considered essential to address hazards arising from landslides at the national level.

... The recommendations presented in the following paragraphs are designed to convey the committee's priorities for a national program: The committee recommends that a national strategy for landslide loss reduction promote the use of risk analysis techniques to guide loss reduction efforts at the state and local levels. Because the state of the art of landslide risk analysis is evolving, further development of risk analysis methods, and documentation and dissemination of their use, are important components of the research and application program for a national landslide strategy.

... Additional support to exploit these new technologies and develop practical tools for a broad user community is needed. Improved education and awareness of landslide hazards and mitigation options, for decision makers, professionals, and the general public, must be primary components of a national landslide hazard mitigation program.

... The committee recognizes the reality that national budgetary considerations will determine the total annual funding provided to implement this strategy and emphasizes that the distribution of total available funding among the program's different components is of paramount importance for an appropriately balanced national program. The committee commends the USGS for undertaking the important initial steps toward a comprehensive national landslide hazards mitigation strategy.
