About this call

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Landslide Hazards Program announces a funding opportunity under the Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program, established by the National Landslide Preparedness Act (Public Law 116-323). This program provides resources to assist state, local, Tribal, and territorial governments in reducing landslide risk through hazard mapping, risk assessments, public education, and interagency coordination.

Landslides occur in every U.S. state and territory, often with little warning, causing fatalities, disrupting transportation and commerce, and inflicting billions of dollars in damage annually. Without proactive measures, communities remain vulnerable to catastrophic losses and prolonged recovery periods. This program addresses these challenges by funding projects that:

• Enhance Risk Assessments: Develop detailed landslide hazard maps and analyses to identify high-risk areas.

Who can apply

• Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)
• Special district governments
• State governments
• Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
• County governments
• City or township governments

This Notice of Funding Opportunity is open to state, Tribal, territorial, and local governments. A university may submit a proposal on behalf of a state geological survey or other state office if they are organized under a university system. Direct any questions about eligibility to the USGS Project Officer.

Applicant categories are a starting point. The official call decides eligibility.
