CHAPTER 17. MITIGATION ALTERNATIVES <br />17-7 <br />Table 17-5. Catalog of Mitigation Alternatives – Landslide <br />Personal Scale Corporate Scale Government Scale <br />Manipulate Hazard <br />1. Stabilize slope (dewater, <br />armor toe) <br />2. Reduce weight on top of <br />slope <br />3. Minimize vegetation <br />removal and the addition of <br />impervious surfaces <br />1. Stabilize slope (dewater, <br />armor toe) <br />2. Reduce weight on top of <br />slope <br />1. Stabilize slope (dewater, armor toe) <br />2. Reduce weight on top of slope <br />Reduce Exposure <br />1. Locate structures outside <br />of hazard area (off <br />unstable land and away <br />from slide-run out area) <br />1. Locate structures outside <br />of hazard area (off <br />unstable land and away <br />from slide-run out area) <br />1. Acquire properties in high-risk landslide <br />areas <br />2. Adopt land use policies that prohibit the <br />placement of habitable structures in high- <br />risk landslide areas <br /> <br />Reduce Vulnerability <br />1. Retrofit home 1. Retrofit at-risk facilities 1. Adopt higher regulatory standards for new <br />development within unstable slope areas <br />2. Armor/retrofit critical infrastructure <br />against the impact of landslides <br />Increase Preparation or Response Capability <br />1. Institute warning system, <br />and develop evacuation <br />plan <br />2. Keep cash reserves for <br />reconstruction <br />3. Educate yourself on risk <br />reduction techniques for <br />landslide hazards <br />1. Institute warning system, <br />and develop evacuation <br />plan <br />2. Keep cash reserves for <br />reconstruction <br />3. Develop a Continuity of <br />Operations Plan <br />4. Educate employees on <br />the potential exposure to <br />landslide hazards and <br />emergency response <br />protocol <br />1. Produce better hazard maps <br />2. Provide technical information and guidance <br />3. Enact tools to help manage development in <br />hazard areas: better land controls, tax <br />incentives, information <br />4. Develop strategy to take advantage of post- <br />disaster opportunities <br />5. Warehouse critical infrastructure <br />components <br />6. Develop and adopt a Continuity of <br />Operations Plan <br />7. Educate the public on the landslide <br />hazard and appropriate risk reduction <br />alternatives <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
