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).
Radon gas exposure causing lung cancer has been Utah’s most deadly geologic hazard, with over 5630 fatalities (data only available from 1973 to 2015), followed by landslide hazards with 342 docu- mented fatalities and flooding hazards accounting for 101 documented fatalities.
