Potential Landslide Scenario

Parameter Probable Range of Values
(MKS Units)
Confidence in Your Estimate
(On a scale of 0-10)
Probability of Occurrence
(% prob. in N yrs)
Location

Use DEMs and landslide maps as guide for highest prob. Location in study areas? 0 1 in 1000 ? (guess)
Geometry Length:   average and extreme of known slides (LIDAR maps)

Width:   10's of m to > km

Thickness:   up to 10's of m

0  
Speed < 10 m/s (pure guess) 0  
Slope Angle Use DEM    
Aspect Use DEM
