SALAD

General Objective

• Develop a landslide warning system based on short/very-short-term weather forecasting, antecedent soil conditions, and modeling of triggering mechanisms.

Specific Objectives

• Test different methodologies for identifying landslide triggering conditions;
• Evaluate and test different precipitation thresholds for landslide triggering;
• Develop low-cost slope monitoring systems;
• Complement existing monitoring and monitor new areas subject to landslides;
• Develop a short/very-short-term weather forecasting methodology;
• Develop a methodology integrating weather forecasting, monitoring, and triggering conditions for landslide warnings;
• Implement and evaluate community adoption of a new people-centered warning system model.
