<br /> <br />2021 Multijurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan <br /> <br />Table 21-5. Alternatives to Mitigate the Landslide Hazard <br />Personal-Scale Corporate-Scale Government-Scale <br /> Manipulate the hazard: <br /> Stabilize slope (dewater, <br />armor toe) <br /> Reduce weight on top of slope <br /> Minimize vegetation removal <br />and the addition of impervious <br />surfaces. <br /> Reduce exposure: <br /> Locate structures outside of <br />hazard area (off unstable land <br />and away from slide-run out <br />area) <br /> Reduce vulnerability: <br /> Retrofit home <br /> Build local capacity: <br /> Institute warning system, and <br />develop evacuation plan <br /> Keep cash reserves for <br />reconstruction <br /> Educate yourself on risk <br />reduction techniques for <br />landslide hazards <br /> Manipulate the hazard: <br /> Stabilize slope (dewater, <br />armor toe) <br /> Reduce weight on top of slope <br /> Reduce exposure: <br /> Locate structures outside of <br />hazard area (off unstable land <br />and away from slide-run out <br />area) <br /> Reduce vulnerability: <br /> Retrofit at-risk facilities <br /> Build local capacity: <br /> Institute warning system, and <br />develop evacuation plan <br /> Keep cash reserves for <br />reconstruction <br /> Develop a continuity of <br />operations plan <br /> Educate employees on the <br />potential exposure to landslide <br />hazards and emergency <br />response protocol. <br /> Manipulate the hazard: <br /> Stabilize slope (dewater, armor toe) <br /> Reduce weight on top of slope <br /> Reduce exposure: <br /> Acquire properties in high-risk landslide areas. <br /> Adopt land use policies that prohibit the placement of <br />habitable structures in high-risk landslide areas. <br /> Reduce vulnerability: <br /> Adopt higher regulatory standards for new development <br />within unstable slope areas. <br /> Armor/retrofit critical facilities against the impact of <br />landslides. <br /> Build local capacity: <br /> Produce better hazard maps <br /> Provide technical information and guidance <br /> Enact tools to help manage development in hazard <br />areas: better land controls, tax incentives, information <br /> Develop strategy to take advantage of post-disaster <br />opportunities <br /> Warehouse critical infrastructure components <br /> Develop and adopt a continuity of operations plan <br /> Educate the public on the landslide hazard and <br />appropriate risk reduction alternatives. <br /> Consider the probable impacts of climate change on the <br />risk associated with the landslide hazard <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />21-6
