| Short Description |
The primary purpose of this report is to document major episodes of landsliding which occurred in the Puget Sound area between 1996 and 1999, and to use the resulting information to better understand how to reduce the risks from landslides in the future. The distinction between the types of events that occurred in each of the two winters sheds light not only on the different geological circumstances, but on how agencies and local governments might better plan for a realistic range of landslides scenarios. This report emphasizes mitigation of landslide risks and damages rather than disaster preparedness and emergency response. | |
