Landslides BGS 07
Landslides BGS 07 :
How is the hazard characterised? BGS does not record 'severity' of landslides in the same way that earthquakes are characterised by magnitude. The 'severity' of a landslide would depend on its size, speed and location in terms of economic impact such as damage to human life or assets. These are all recorded in the BGS National Landslide Database, but landslides are not ranked according to their severity, although some statistics involving impact could be determined from the database. Landslides can cause secondary hazards such as, for example, fire if utilities such as gas were disrupted. Landslides can be a secondary hazard of flooding or earthquakes
