Don't get excited by the term "SLIDO," it is NOT one of those little hamburgers (that's a slider).
SLIDO is the Statewide Landslide Information Layer for Oregon, and a pretty good acronym for a program that keeps track of landslides.
The rains of this winter showed us what can happen when the earth slides--like on several Douglas County roads--and the SLIDO maps show where slides can happen and have.
The state Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) runs the SLIDO program. DOGAMI Chief Scientist and SLIDO co-author Ian Madin is our guest.
