Short summary
This research presents a new framework for evaluating potential landslide activity in near real time. This system was implemented in Central America and the Caribbean by integrating a regional susceptibility map and satellite-based rainfall estimates into a binary decision tree, considering both daily and antecedent rainfall. The model demonstrates the capability to use free, globally available satellite products for near real-time regional landslide hazard assessment and situational awareness.
