本手册旨在为受山体滑坡影响的人们提供获取更多知识的资源，尤其是关于其所在街区和社区特有的情况的知识。关于山体滑坡有大量的文献和研究，但不幸的是，很少有文献将其综合起来以应对全球各地独特的地质和气候条件。山体滑坡在世界各地、各种气候条件和地形下都会发生，造成数十亿美元的经济损失，并每年导致数千人伤亡。它们常常造成长期的经济混乱、人口迁移以及对自然环境的负面影响。过时的土地使用政策可能并不总是能反映出对易发生山体滑坡土地的最佳规划。导致土地使用政策不完善或缺失，从而无法将地质灾害的潜在感知或实际危险和损害降至最低的原因有很多，包括社区在政治、文化和经济方面的复杂性。山体滑坡通常被视为局部问题，但其影响和损失常常跨越地方管辖区域，可能成为州、省或国家层面的问题。不断增长的人口在地理扩张上可能会受到限制，只能占据不稳定、陡峭或偏远的地区。通常，稳定山体滑坡受灾地区的成本太高，一些居民没有其他地方可搬迁。幸运的是，可以采取简单的、“低技术含量”的预防措施和行动，至少确保个人的即时安全，本手册简要概述了其中许多选择。我们强烈建议，在可能的情况下，在采取行动之前咨询专业工程师/地质学家或在成功缓解不稳定斜坡方面有经验的人员。本手册帮助房主、社区和应急管理人员以及决策者迈出积极的一步，提高对山体滑坡灾害相关可用选择和求助途径的认识。《山体滑坡手册——了解山体滑坡指南》
This handbook is intended to be a resource for people affected by landslides to acquire further knowledge, especially about the conditions that are unique to their neighborhoods and communities. Considerable literature and research are available concerning landslides, but unfortunately little of it is synthesized and integrated to address the geographically unique geologic and climatic conditions around the globe. Landslides occur throughout the world, under all climatic conditions and terrains, cost billions in monetary losses, and are responsible for thousands of deaths and injuries each year. Often, they cause long-term economic disruption, population displacement, and negative effects on the natural environment. Outdated land-use policies may not always reflect the best planning for use of land that is vulnerable to landslides. The reasons for poor or nonexistent land-use policies that minimize the perceived or actual danger and damage potential from geologic hazards are many and encompass the political, cultural, and financial complexities and intricacies of communities. Landslides often are characterized as local problems, but their effects and costs frequently cross local jurisdictions and may become State or Provincial or national problems. Growing populations may be limited in their geographic expansion, except to occupy unstable, steep, or remote areas. Often, stabilizing landslide-scarred areas is too costly, and some inhabitants have no other places to relocate. Fortunately, simple, “low-tech” precautions and actions can be adopted to at least ensure an individual’s immediate safety, and this handbook gives a brief overview of many of these options. We strongly suggest that, where possible, the assistance of professional engineers/geologists or those experienced in the successful mitigation of unstable slopes be consulted before actions are taken. This handbook helps homeowners, community and emergency managers, and decisionmakers to take the positive step of encouraging awareness of available options and recourse in regard to landslide hazard.
