GEOJSON files from Mexico's National Digital Strategy Unit map landslide-prone regions across ten major geographic zones. The dataset, last updated in May 2026, identifies areas of potential slope instability without specific occurrence probabilities. It is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO.
Use Cases
- Regional hazard mapping based on landslide-prone zone identification
- Integrating slope instability data into broader environmental risk models
- Planning infrastructure or development projects to avoid identified risk zones
Strengths
- Data covers ten distinct geographic regions within Mexico, including Baja California, the Eje Neovolcánico, and Gulf coasts.
- Published under a Creative Commons license (CC-BY-3.0-IGO) facilitating reuse.
- Last update timestamp (2026-05-09) suggests recent maintenance.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
