Landslide Hazard level: Very low ?

Landslides involve the downslope movement of rock, soil, and debris under the influence of gravity, triggered by factors such as heavy rainfall or seismic activity. The susceptibility to landslides is determined by terrain slope, geological composition, soil type, vegetation cover, and land use patterns. Landslides can range from slow soil creep to rapid debris flows, with impacts varying from localized slope failures to catastrophic mass movements affecting entire communities.

In the area you have selected landslide susceptibility is classified as very low according to the information that is currently available. This means that this area has rainfall patterns, terrain slope, geology, soil, land cover and (potentially) earthquakes that make localized landslides a rare hazard phenomenon. Based on this information, the impact of landslides does not need to be considered in different phases of the project. Although the hazard is considered to be very low or non-existent in the project location based on the information available in ThinkHazard!, additional information may show some level of hazard. If local or additional information sources suggest that there is landslide hazard, seek expert guidance on additional recommended actions.

Climate change impact: Climate change is likely to alter slope and bedrock stability through changes in precipitation and/or temperature. It is difficult to determine future locations and timing of large rock avalanches, as these depend on local geological conditions and other non-climatic factors.
