Description: This dataset is a digital soil survey and generally is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely sensed and other information.This dataset consists of georeferenced digital map data and computerized attribute data. The map data are in a state-wide extent format and include a detailed, field verified inventory of soils and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in a repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the National Soil Information System relational database, which gives the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties.

Description: One of the primary chronic and most devastating geologic hazards in Oregon is landslides. Average annual repair costs for landslides in Oregon exceed $10 million and severe winter storm losses can exceed $100 million (Wang and others, 2002). As population growth continues to expand and development into increased landslide susceptible terrain occurs, greater losses are likely to result. In order to begin reducing losses from landslides, large-scale endeavors are necessary at all community levels from state government to individual family homes. One successful way to reduce losses from landslides is through pre-disaster mitigation, which can be performed at many scales from statewide to local. To begin pre-disaster mitigation of landslides, the landslide hazard must be located. Once the hazard is located the population and infrastructure vulnerable to the hazards can be identified and the risk mitigated. In order to improve our understanding of the landslide hazard in Oregon the Statewide Landslide Information Database of Oregon (SLIDO) was created. The four main objectives of this study were 1) identify previously mapped landslide deposits statewide, 2) improve the understanding of landslide hazards throughout Oregon, 3) improve the abilities of communities to begin effective landslide management and risk reduction activities, and 4) recommend future improvements and updates to the database.The goals of SLIDO Release 2 were 1) update SLIDOr1, 2) improve historically active landslide portion of the database through review of local municipality (city or county) data, 3) compile references that have detailed data on regionally significant or typical landslides, 4) add non-spatial data related to landslides such as landslide type, activity, certainty of identification, process, estimated age, etc. in specified areas, 5) populate and convene an Oregon Framework Implementation Team (FIT) landslide element subcommittee to develop standards for the statewide landslide theme. Also develop the landslide element stewardship standard.Historic landslide points were digitized from data from Hofmeister, R.L. (2000) and from data provided by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the city of Portland. The points were then attributed and split into separate feature classes based on five year intervals.
