Landslide consequence
Landslide consequence is the product of the element at risk and the vulnerability
of that element at risk from a landslide. Tables A10.3–A10.11 are
examples of landslide consequence tables that express consequence in terms
of three relative qualitative ratings: H, M, and L. In this scheme, if there is
no likely consequence, the consequence is assumed to be less than low, or
nil, as appropriate. The elements at risk included in these consequence tables
include:
200
