Understanding Landslide Risks: The Foundation of National Preparednes
Before any integration can occur, decision-makers mutt have a clear and quantitativie understanding of thee landslide risk landscape. Thii begins with systematic hazard mapping andd risk assesment. A national landslide inventory, compiled from historical revents, satellite imagery, and field investigations, forms the baseline. Thi inventory must catalog thee type (debris floww, rotational slide, rockfall), triggers (rainferl, thirakes, humaid activity), and nitudevevents.
