The inventory was created through a collaborative effort involving researchers from multiple institutions. By coordinating activities across teams, we rapidly generated spatial data to support disaster response, while also providing a robust and reliable database for scientific analysis.

- This research underscores the urgent need for systematic documentation and high-quality landslide databases to guide effective disaster prevention and management strategies. 📢

📝 Highlights:
- An unprecedented precipitation event between April and May 2024 impacted millions. 📊
- 15,376 landslides were recorded (the largest number ever documented in Brazil) ⚠️
- 96% of municipalities were affected, spanning ~18,000 km² with 16,862 initiation points. 🌆
