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 />
