Mitigation Division Fact Sheet: Landslides and Mudflows Landslide and mudflows usually strike without warning. The force of rocks, soil, or other debris moving down a slope can devastate anything in its path. Take the following steps to be ready. BEFORE Get a ground assessment of your property. Your county geologist or county planning department may have specific information on areas vulnerable to landsliding. Consult a professional geotechnical expert for opinions and advice on landslide problems and on corrective measures you can take. Minimize home hazards. Plant ground cover on slopes and build retaining walls. In mudflow areas, build channels or deflection walls to direct the flow around buildings. Remember: If you build walls to divert debris flow and the flow lands on a neighbor's property, you may be liable for damages. Learn to recognize the landslide warning signs.

INTRODUCTION MAPS '82 DAMAGES SUGG. READING The U.S. Geological Survey produced special landslide hazard maps of the San Francisco Bay Area for the California State Office of Emergency Services (OES) and the National Weather Service (NWS) Now, these maps are available on-line The USGS has experience with catastrophic events associated with the winter storms of 1982 and 1983. New USGS maps are geared to reduce the loss of life and property from storm-induced landslides and debris flows (a.k.a. mudslides). Landslide maps identify areas where the greatest threat to property exists from the movement of deep-seated landslides ( see computer simulation from 1996-97 for example ). The areas potentially subject to slope failure generally coincide with the location of previous landslides and specific geologic materials. Now, fly-by movies are available: One fly-by depicts an animation of a slow-moving bedrock landslide, from a cross-sectional view. An instructional introduction is included in the animation. The other two animations show, as red patches, areas of mapped landslides in the East Bay Hills and in Marin County. These areas are part of the 85,000 landslides that have occurred sometime in the past throughout the Bay region. Debris flow/mudslide maps show areas where life-threatening debris flows would likely occur in the event of an intense winter rainstorm such as that of January, 1982 (

Hazards Assistance Flood Maps NPSC ... Hazards Landslides Search FEMA Hazards Dam Safety Earthquakes Extreme Heat ... Mitigation Division Landslides What Is A Landslide? Landslides are a serious geologic hazard common to almost every state in the United States. It is estimated that nationally they cause up to $2 billion in damages and from 25 to 50 deaths annually. Globally, landslides cause billions of dollars in damage and thousands of deaths and injuries each year. Individuals can take steps to reduce their personal risk. Know about the hazard potential where you live, take steps to reduce your risk, and practice preparedness plans. Some landslides move slowly and cause damage gradually, whereas others move so rapidly that they can destroy property and take lives suddenly and unexpectedly. Gravity is the force driving landslide movement. Factors that allow the force of gravity to overcome the resistance of earth material to landslide movement include: saturation by water, steepening of slopes by erosion or construction, alternate freezing or thawing, earthquake shaking, and volcanic eruptions. Landslides are typically associated with periods of heavy rainfall or rapid snow melt and tend to worsen the effects of flooding that often accompanies these events. In areas burned by forest and brush fires, a lower threshold of precipitation may initiate landslides.

Landslides Grand Ditch and Poudre Pass Mosaic, Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado The image above shows part of the Grand Ditch in Rocky Mountain National Park. This ditch carries water from the Colorado River Basin across the Continental Divide and irrigates farms in northeast Colorado. The city of Thornton, located near Denver, recently purchased rights to half the water flowing through the ditch to support future city growth. The Department of the Interior asked RSR to provide aerial photography of water diversions in Rocky Mountain National Park. These photos establish a data base to record changes and direct restoration efforts in the Park. These photos were entered as evidence in a water rights trial to demonstrate effects of water diversion from federal lands. South Portion of the Grand Ditch The above mosaic show about 10 miles of the ditch corridor. The map below depicts the area covered in the mosaic. These images show a portion of the ditch that was damaged by a landslide. The image on the left was taken with a wide-angle lens, while the other image was made with a normal lens. They were used by the U.S. Departments of Interior and Agriculture in a landmark water rights trial to show the effects of water diversion. The water is carried through a culvert beneath the road visible in the photo on the right. All the images were taken from an RPV that was launched and landed on this road. The image on the left shows a failure of the Grand Ditch. The ditch is visible along the left edge of the the photo on the left. A landslide filled the ditch, causing it to fail. The water in the ditch overflowed its banks and caused the gully that goes from left to right in the image. This gully can be seen in the photo on the right, indicated by the arrow. The ditch overflow drained into the headwaters of the Colorado River, which is also visible in the right image.

The Office of Civil Defense said 80 houses were destroyed. Dozens of people were injured and the death toll was expected to rise, said Rosette Lerias, governor of the province. "We experienced unusually heavy rains during the last six days," she told Reuters. "The rains triggered the landslides." Lerias said rescue work was hampered by minor landslides that blocked the only roads leading to the disaster area. The two towns are on a small island off the main Leyte island. Officials said there was no power in the affected areas. Leyte province was the scene of the famous sea battle between U.S. and Japanese forces during the Second World War.
