  8. LANDSLIDE HAZARDS

  9. LANDSLIDEScause permanent deformation as a result of the downward and outward movements of large volumes of soil and/or rock down slopes under the influence of the force of gravity.

  10. PHYSICS OF LANDSLIDES • Landslides occur naturally. • Landslides can be triggered and/or exacerbated by: 1) Water (from precipitation during a tropical storm, hurricane, or typhoon), or 2) Vibrations (from earthquake ground shaking. • These phenomena either reduce the friction or increase the force down the slope:

  11. LANDSLIDE HAZARDS (AKA POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS) • DOWN-SLOPE MOVEMENT OF SOIL AND/OR ROCK (CAN FORM AN “EARTHQUAKE LAKE”) • DOWN-SLOPE FLOW OF WET SOIL (AKA: MUDFLOW; CAN BURY A VILLAGE OR MINERS) • LATERAL SPREADING OF SOIL AND/OR ROCK (CAN DAMAGE INFRA-STRUCTURE)

  12. LANDSLIDES INCREASE DISASTER RISK

  13. HAZARDS EXPOSURE VULNERABILITY LOCATION CONTRIBUTORS TO RISK RISK

  14. CAUSES OF DAMAGE SITING AND BUILDING ON UNSTABLE SLOPES SOIL AND ROCK SUCEPTIBLE TO FALLS SOIL AND ROCK SUCEPTIBLE TO TOPPLES SOIL AND ROCK SUCEPTIBLE TO SPREADS LANDSLIDES SOIL AND ROCK SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLOWS CASE HISTORIES PRECIPITATION THAT TRIGGERS SLOPE FAILURE SHAKING GROUND SHAKING THAT TRIGGERS SLOPE FAILURE

  15. E BUILDING ON SLOPES SLOPE FAILURE; DAMAGE LOSS OF FUNCTION ECONOMIC LOSS; DEATH & INJURY UNACCEPTABLE RISK RISK

  16. FORECASTS OF SLOPE FAILURE MONITORING TECHNOLOGIES (E.G., REMOTE SENSING; SENSORS IN LOCAL SLIDES) WARNING SYSTEMS HISTORY OF EACH LANDSLIDE COMPUTER MODEL OF A LANDSLIDE MAPS FOR ZONING DISASTER SCENARIOS HAZARDS AND RISK ASSESSMENT MODELS EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR COPING WITH LANDSLIDES

  17. PURPOSE PREVENTION IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIFIC RISKS IDENTIFICATION OF LANDSLIDE POTENTIAL AFTER STORMS OR EARTHQUAKES TECHNIQUE RETAINING WALLS (LOCAL SCALE) USE OF SITE-SPECIFIC DATA FOR REMEDIATION USE OF REMOTE SENSING FOR WARNING RISK REDUCTION STRATEGIES FOR LANDSLIDES
