1. NASA and other researchers have tracked global news and web reports of rain-caused landslides since 2007.
2. Between 2007 and 2013, more than 20,000 people have died in 6,000 landslides - an average of 2,500 per year.
3. An interactive website will help researchers match future news reports of landslides with the data of heavy rain from a new satellite-based network covering Earth.
