We define landslide Early Warning Systems and present practical guidelines to assist end-users with limited experience in the design of landslide Early Warning Systems (EWSs). In particular, two flow chart-based tools coming from the results of the SafeLand ...

<p>Rainfall-induced landslides in steep soil slopes of volcanic origin are a major threat to human lives and infrastructure. In the context of constructing early warning systems in regions where extensive data on landslide occurrences and associated rainfall ...

Precipitation-induced landslide is one of the most important geo-hazards that claim many casualties every year world-side. To mitigate this hazard, the present text addresses monitoring and early warning in relatively small and shallow slope failures that ...

A total of 4200 landslides have been identified in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. It is planned that a total of 3200 landslides (i.e., 75% of the total number of landslides) will be monitored. Since 2003, the authors have carried out a geo-hazard real-time ...

CSIO, Chandigarh has designed and developed an instrument network around standard geotechnical and geophysical sensors and advanced associated electronics. Network was installed in 2006 for continuous instrumental monitoring of the site at Mansa Devi near ...

<p>Early warning systems are becoming one of the main pillars of disaster prevention in natural hazards especially where mitigation strategies are not realizable. Therefore, the call for multi-hazard early warning systems and improvement of monitoring of natural ...

<p>Investigation and slope stability analysis indicated the remediation options were limited to the re-alignment of the highway. However, re-alignment of the highway would be costly and require time to design and construct. Daily inspection and monitoring ...

This paper describes the technical instrumentation used by the ILEWS Project to build up a landslide early warning system. Measurements of landslide movement and soil-water-status are conducted and integrated into a physically-based slope stability model for ...
