Environmental factors account for the occurrence of debris flow, as well as different weights of subareas with … different risk levels. Considering the relationship between debris flow and rainfall (including the intraday rainfall and the … according to different risk levels. Debris flow prediction models were then established by using a logistic regression model …

On August 7 and 8, 2010, a catastrophic debris flow disaster occurred in Zhouqu County in northwestern China’s Gansu … Province. The large-scale debris flow event destroyed more than 200 buildings, killing approximately 1,700 people. Field … investigations showed that the debris flow disaster was not only a natural hazard but also anthropogenic. First, the partial …

A debris flow is a serious natural disaster which can occur anywhere whether in a valley or on a mountain slope …. However, most debris flow detection systems, like wireless sensors, satellite images and radar, are not suitable for general …

have proposed several methods, such as regression analysis, fuzzy mathematics, and artificial neural networks for debris-flow … results. The current study reported a similarity-based debris-flow hazard assessment model to determine hazard levels of … debris flow in regions, with steps like determining hazard-level-type regions, selecting environmental factors and …
