Criteria for selection

Physical characteristics of the geosystem (e.g., stratigraphy, mechanical characteristics of

the materials, surface water and groundwater regime)

Morphology of the area

Actual or potential causative processes which can determine the occurrence of landslides

Phase and rate of movement at the time of implementation

Morphology of the area in relation to accessibility and safety of workers and the public

Environmental constraints (e.g. impact on archeological, hystorical and landscape value)

Preexisting structures and infrastructure that may be affected, directly or indirectly

Capital and operating cost, including maintenance

Source: SGI (2011)

Factors which determine the hazard

in terms of type, rate, depth and probability of occurrence of the landslide

Factors which affect the nature and quantification of risk for a given hazard

Presence and vulnerability of elements at risk (both in the potentially unstable area and in

areas which may be affected by the run-out)

Factors which affect the actual feasibility of specific mitigation measures

Reduction of Hazard

1. Surface protection and control of surface erosion

2. Modifying the geometry and/or the mass distribution

3. Modifying the surface water regime – surface drainage

4. Modifying the groundwater regime – deep drainage

5. Modifying the mechanical characteristics of the unstable mass

6. Transfer of loads to more competent strata

7. Retaining structures

Zoning to prevent development in hazardous areas or removing existing

development from hazardous areas (exclusionary zones)

Traffic restrictions (reduce number of vehicles)

Ambrozic et al. (2009)

Decreasing the number of vulnerable elements potentially affected by a landslide

Decreasing the probability that vulnerable elements will both spatially and

temporally intercept ground movements

Moving non-stationary vulnerable elements to less hazardous locations

Increasing awareness, detection and warning of hazards (either detected movement

or trigger conditions) and subsequent avoidance (evacuation or temporary

exclusion, followed by inspection before resuming normal use).

Reduction of Elements at risk

Particularly cost effective when the number of elements a risk is small in relation to

the extent of the landslide and of the affected area and when it is achieved through

the sustained implementation of appropriate long-term planning measures.

Reduction of Vulnerability

Existing structures can be strengthened; for new structures, the potential effects of

impact from landslide material can be taken into account from the outset. This

approach is typically applicable only in relation to relatively shallow slides and is not

applicable to withstand the impact form very large landslides.

Landslide vulnerability (passive) measures

Increase the resistance of elements at risk

Stop or deviate the path of the landslide

Works can be carried out to intercept and block or at least to deviate or to slow down

the sliding materials. This type of works relates mainly to the fall of massive blocks

or to flows of all types.

Share residual risk

Increase the tolerance towards the residual risk after implementing all other

(technically and economically) possible mitigation measures.

Voluntary or compulsory insurance

(share the risk among a large number of people)

Public Authorithy takes on the same general role of managing shared risk as the

insurance company.

Compulsory systems based on taxes and public intervention

Owners can tolerate a higher level of residual risk, since any damage that may occur

would be refunded by the insurance company. Clearly, this strategy is useful

especially when the elements at risk consist mainly of facilities and properties, which

normally corresponds to the reactivation of slow or very slow movement.

Landslide Early Warning strategy in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)

A two tier system…

ALERTA-RIO

A2C2 “Sistema de Alerta e Alarme Comunitário para Chuvas Fortes”

Officially created in 1996 by the GEO-RIO Foundation with the objective of issuing alert

bulletins, warning the populations for severe weather conditions which may induce flash floods

or landslides within areas of the city.

Operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a staff of meteorologists, geologists,

engineers and technical-level personnel (only maintenance of the equipment is outsourced)

From 2010 it operates from the multipurpose Municipal Operations Center (CO-Rio)

Currently deployed in 103 “informal communities” (i.e. favelas) of the city

Based on few essential elements, some of which shared with ALERTA-RIO: risk zoning;

rainfall model and thresholds for early-warning; local and continuous measurement of rainfall;

timely rainfall prediction; apparatus for alert delivery (i.e. sirens); definition and

implementation of evacuation procedures; education and training of the population.

Not designed to be permanent, as the sirens are supposed to be uninstalled from communities

when, as it is planned, the risk will be lowered to acceptable levels either through stabilization

works or by the removal of dwellings (depending on results from cost-benefit analyses)
