<strong>Flood</strong> <strong>Management</strong>: Landslide Dam<br />

Outburst <strong>Flood</strong>s<br />

Time: 60 minutes<br />

Session 14<br />

Objective<br />

To introduce landslide dam outburst floods (LDOFs) and the measures that can be used to minimise the risks<br />

they pose, including:<br />

XX<br />

Types <strong>of</strong> landslides and the factors that trigger them<br />

XX<br />

Landslide dams and the factors that cause them<br />

XX<br />

How landslide dams fail<br />

XX<br />

Measures that can be used to reduce the risk <strong>of</strong> LDOF<br />

Activities<br />

Activity 14.1: Types <strong>of</strong> landslides and factors that trigger landslides<br />

Time: 15 minutes<br />

Step 1<br />

Step 2<br />

Step 3<br />

Introduce the different types <strong>of</strong> landslides (e.g., fall, topple, slide, spread, and flow).<br />

Discuss what can cause landslides and their triggering factors.<br />

Discuss the causes and effects <strong>of</strong> the different types <strong>of</strong> landslides that can dam rivers.<br />

Activity 14.2: Process <strong>of</strong> landslide damming and factors that can cause<br />

landslide dams<br />

Time: 15 minutes<br />

Step 1<br />

Step 2<br />

Present and explain the process <strong>of</strong> landslide damming. Highlight the characteristics <strong>of</strong> possible<br />

places where landslides can dam a river.<br />

Discuss the factors that can cause a landslide to dam a river. Discuss the different possible<br />

compositions <strong>of</strong> landslide dams and how their composition affects their longevity. Discuss how<br />

landslide dams fail.<br />

Activity 14.3: Case studies <strong>of</strong> landslide dam outburst floods<br />

Time: 5 minutes<br />

Present and discuss landslide dam outburst floods and present the case studies described in RM 14.3. Discuss<br />

the causes <strong>of</strong> landslide dam outbursts.<br />
