Geologic Hazards: Risks and Mitigation
CHAPTER 8: Geologic hazards 131 CHAPTER 8 Geologic hazards : Risks and Identifying and Profiling Geological hazards Assessment of Local Geological hazards Vulnerability and Potential Losses Assessment of State Geological hazards Vulnerability and Potential Losses Geological hazards Mitigation Efforts132 UTAH STATE HAZARD Mitigation Identifying and Profiling Geological hazards Geologic hazards are those Geologic conditions that present a risk to life (injury or death), of substantial loss or damage to proper-ty, or damage to the environment. Geologic hazards affect Utah, negatively impacting life safety, health, property, and the state s economy. For the purpose of this Mitigation plan, the term geological hazard is used to describe earthquake hazards (ground shaking, surface fault rupture, and liquefaction), landslide hazards (landslide and rockfall), problem soil and rock hazards , and volcanic hazards (volcanoes and eruptions).
Volcanic Hazards, including: Volcanic eruption Lava flows Airborne volcanic ash EARTHQUAKE (SEISMIC) HAZARDS An earthquake occurs when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another, releasing built up energy from plate tecton-ics, regional stress regimes, and induced from fluid injection or underground mining activities.
