3. Landslide Hazard and Risk Assessment

Soils, rocks and other geomaterials exhibit significant spatial variability (aleatory uncertainty) and their properties often change markedly over small distances. Many non-local scale landslide hazard assessment models are empirical and should be calibrated/validated with regional and/or national database(s) of previous landslide events.
