Wikimedia

The recent landslide in Washington pointed up a basic fact about geology: land that has slid tends to slide again.

The state is in the process of expanding its database of known landslide locations. It is appropriately called SLIDO. 

We learn about the meaning of the acronym and the use of the database in this segment.
