Application and Advancement

• Global landslide and avalanche hotspots.

• Nepal Hazard and Risk Assessment for the WB

• GAR 2011 Indonesia

• Use of PGA for 475-year event based on most recent seismic hazard study for Indonesia (Irsyam et al., 2010).

• Reclassification of lithological data based on knowledge of local experts: Five versus two in the global analyses for the Global Assessment Report (UN/ISDR, 2009).

• Use of landslide databases for calibration of hazard, exposure and risk (DesInventar, NASA, WestJava Database)

Advancements in GAR 2009

Example: Hazard maps for EQ-induced landslides in Indonesia

Map of exposure to EQ-induced landslides in Indonesia

Future improvements (present gaps)

• Further calibration of models against observed landslides

• Development of vulnerability models in order to compute risk

• More refined seismic hazard data (for example, GEM)

• Prediction tools based on mechanical models (for example, model developed in EU project SAFER)
