Landslide and Debris Flow (Mudslide)

Landslides occur in all U.S. states and territories. In a landslide, masses of rock, earth, or debris move down a slope. Landslides may be small or large, slow or rapid. They are activated by:

storms,
earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions,
fires,
alternate freezing or thawing,
and steepening of slopes by erosion or human modification.

Debris and mud flows are rivers of rock, earth, and other debris saturated with water. They develop when water rapidly accumulates in the ground, during heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt, changing the earth into a flowing river of mud or “slurry.” They can flow rapidly, striking with little or no warning at avalanche speeds. They also can travel several miles from their source, growing in size as they pick up trees, boulders, cars, and other materials.
Landslide problems can be caused by land mismanagement, particularly in mountain, canyon, and coastal regions. In areas burned by forest and brush fires, a lower threshold of precipitation may initiate landslides. Land-use zoning, professional inspections, and proper design can minimize many landslide, mudflow, and debris flow problems.

Hazardous materials can include explosives, flammable and combustible substances, poisons and radioactive materials. Chemical agents are poisonous vapors, aerosols, liquids and solids that have toxic effects on people, animals or plants. Emergencies can happen during the production, storage, transportation, use or disposal of hazardous materials. You are at risk when chemicals are used unsafely or released in harmful amounts where you live, work or play.
Signs of a chemical release include difficulty breathing, eye irritation, loss of coordination, nausea or burning in the nose, throat and lungs. The presence of many dead insects or birds may indicate a chemical agent release.
Before an Incident
Many communities have Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) responsible for collecting information about chemicals and hazardous materials in the community and planning for accidents. These materials are available to the public upon request.

What Is a Tsunami?

If you live near the ocean, you may have seen tsunami warning signs like this one in British Columbia, Canada. Credit: Mimigu CC BY 3.0

Tsunami is a Japanese word that means "harbor wave." It is a large wave caused by movements in Earth's outer layer, or crust, which move ocean water. For example, an earthquake or a volcano in the ocean could cause a tsunami. 
Earth's crust is made up of pieces called tectonic plates. An earthquake happens when these plates push against each other so hard that one of them slips or breaks. Imagine leaning against a friend. If you push against each other harder and harder, one or both of you will fall over. When Earth's plates push against each other, they can move a lot.
If an earthquake happens in the ocean, a large piece of Earth's crust can be thrust upward or slip from side to side. The movement of a large chunk of Earth displaces the water above it, meaning it takes up the space where the water used to be. So where does the water go? It ripples out from the earthquake in waves.

This is an animation of an October 2012 tsunami as it crossed Hawaii. As the wave (dark blue/white lines) moved, it caused changes in the atmosphere that could be detected by navigation satellites. Credit: Sapienza University/NASA-JPL/Caltech

This can also happen if a volcano erupts in the ocean. The lava flowing out of the volcano displaces the water around it. That water can turn into a large wave.
If the earthquake or volcano is very big, then the wave can be very big, too. Big tsunamis usually begin in the deep ocean, where a large volume of water can be displaced. As the wave moves closer to the shore, it grows taller as the ocean becomes shallower.

Share your Success
If you have taken measures to prevent losses from disasters at home, at work, or in your community, help us tell YOUR story.
If your community was creative or took exceptional steps in implementing planning and prevention measures, executing sound floodplain management practices, providing mitigation training, or conducting outreach and public awareness activities, let other communities read about it.
There are two ways to submit your story:

Online: Complete the Online Submission Form
By Mail: Download the Submission Worksheet

Once you submit your Best Practice or Case Study, we will review your information and possibly include your story in our nationwide collection of Best Practices.

WPC's Short Range Public Discussion
Therefore, the SPC has issued an
Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Middle
Mississippi Valley and Ohio Valley from Sunday into Monday morning. The
hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. In addition, there
will be an added threat of EF2 to EF5 tornadoes, hail, two inches or
greater, and severe thunderstorm wind gusts of 65 knots or greater over
parts of the region.

Moreover, some showers and thunderstorms will produce heavy rain over
parts of the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys, Middle Mississippi Valley, and
Central Appalachians. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level
2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys,
Middle Mississippi Valley, and Central Appalachians from Sunday through
Monday morning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized
areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and
low-lying areas the most vulnerable.

On Monday, as the front moves from the Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic,
showers and severe thunderstorms will develop as the front over the Plains
moves onto the Mississippi Valley. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight
Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Mid-Atlantic.
The hazards associated with these strong to severe thunderstorms are
frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few
tornadoes

Also, on Monday, the threat of excessive rainfall will eastward to parts
of the northern Mid-Atlantic/Northeast. Therefore, the WPC has issued a
Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the
Ohio/Tennessee Valleys, Middle Mississippi Valley, and Central
Appalachians from Sunday through Monday morning. The associated heavy rain
will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas,
roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.

 Meanwhile, an upper-level trough over the Great Basin will move eastward
to the Ohio Valley by Monday.

FEMA: Inundaciones
Considere las opciones para proteger su propiedad.
 
Prepare un registro de sus bienes personales. Tome fotografías o vídeos de sus pertenencias. Guarde estos documentos en un lugar seguro.
Mantenga las pólizas de seguros, escrituras, registros de propiedad y otros papeles importantes en un lugar seguro fuera de su hogar.
Evite construir en terrenos aluviales, a menos que pueda elevar y reforzar su casa.
Eleve el horno de calefacción, el calentador de agua y el tablero eléctrico a los pisos más altos o a la buhardilla si están susceptibles a inundación.
Instale “válvulas de retención” en las trampas de la alcantarilla para evitar que el agua de la inundación retroceda hacia los drenajes de su casa.
Construya barreras, tales como diques, bermas y muros contra inundación para evitar que el agua entre al edificio.
Selle las paredes de los sótanos con compuestos impermeables para evitar la infiltración.
Llame al departamento de construcción o a la oficina de manejo de emergencias local para obtener más información.

 

Mantenga suministros a la mano para una emergencia. Recuerde un Radio Meteorológico NOAA de batería y con función de tono de alerta y baterías adicionales.

 Qué hacer durante una inundación

 Esté consciente de la inundación repentina. Si hay alguna posibilidad de que ocurra una inundación repentina, trasládese inmediatamente a un terreno más alto. No espere a que le den instrucciones.
