Method and provenance

Production method
Automated seismic wave detection from regional and global broadband stations, reviewed and classified by USGS National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) analysts as a landslide mass-movement signal.
Provenance
Published directly by the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program via the ComCat API.
Validation
Agency Reviewed Event Solution
Uncertainty
The original response does not establish location accuracy within 5 km or origin-time accuracy within 1 second. A reported zero depth and precise timestamp are not independent accuracy estimates.
Limitations
The event bulletin is a seismic source estimate, not a direct measurement of detached volume, flow velocity, or failure mechanism. Current response retrieved 28 September; inventory membership at the 24 September cutoff is distinct from the current dynamic endpoint content.
