If your home, street, or route to safety is near a steep or unstable slope, strong storms can become a direct property and access problem. This is especially important in hillside areas.
A wet winter storm could trigger slope movement that cracks pavement, damages retaining areas, closes roads, and forces a small number of homes to evacuate or shelter elsewhere.
For residents near steep slopes, landslides can mean sudden road closures, unstable ground, utility problems, and in some cases evacuation.
Landslide Preparedness: 0/5 complete
Medium riskLandslide is ranked medium and the LHMP expects at least one landslide somewhere in the city each year. It scores in the middle because exposure is significant but impacts are more localized than earthquake, wildfire, or severe weather.
