Rapid assessment procedure to demarcate areas susceptible to earthquake-induced ground failures for environment management – a case study from parts of northeast India
Abstract. Ground failures, such as landslide and the liquefaction of soil induced by earthquake and/or rainfall, not only pose a threat to human settlements but also degrade the environment. In order to be as prepared as possible, prior knowledge of the spatial distribution of areas vulnerable to these natural hazards and the critical locations for different degrees of risk is required. Information on the land cover, surface drainage, morphology, surface material, rock type, geological structure, lineament, rainfall and earthquake was used in developing a procedure to evaluate regions of potential ground failure. A case study from northeast India is presented to illustrate its value.
