At the ILC we maintain a database of landslide events worldwide.  This concentrates on those that cause fatalities.  Data are collected from a wide range of sources, including official and government reports; academic papers; newswires, etc. 

Presented here are some preliminary data for fatalities caused by landslides in 2003.  This is for information only.  We request that the data are not used in any publication without our permission. 

We would be delighted to hear of any corrections or amendments that are needed.
