THIS PROPOSAL SUPPORTS KEY DECISION-MAKING AND RESILIENCE-BUILDING CAPABILITIES AT A RANGE OF.SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL SCALES THAT ARE DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO OUR STAKEHOLDER DECISION MAKING AND.RESPONSE NEEDS. SPECIFICALLY THE PROPOSED WORK SUPPORTS BOTH REAL-TIME SITUATIONAL AWARENESS OF.POTENTIAL LANDSLIDE ACTIVITY AND IMPACTS AT A GLOBAL SCALE AND SCENARIO-BASED REGIONAL ASSESSMENT OF.CASCADING LANDSLIDE HAZARDS RESULTING FROM EXTREME WEATHER AND EARTHQUAKES. THIS WORK ALIGNS WITH.KEY KNOWLEDGE GAPS WITHIN THE DECISION SUPPORT STRUCTURES OF OUR STAKEHOLDER COMMUNITIES .ADDRESSING THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS RELEVANT TO THEIR NEEDS:.1. WHAT IS THE APPLICATION SCIENCE QUESTION? WE ASSESS THE IMPACTS OF LANDSLIDES AND CASCADING.HAZARDS TRIGGERED BY HEAVY RAINFALL OR EARTHQUAKES AND HOW CAN THESE IMPACTS (HAZARD EXPOSURE.AND RISK) BE ESTIMATED DYNAMICALLY FOR ITERATIVE DECISION MAKING THROUGHOUT THE DISASTER LIFECYCLE..2. WHAT IS AT RISK? LANDSLIDE HAZARDS CAN DIRECTLY CAUSE FATALITIES BLOCK ROADS DAMAGE OR DESTROY.INFRASTRUCTURE AND LIMIT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RESPONSE STRATEGIES FOLLOWING PRIMARY TRIGGERING.EVENTS (E.G. TROPICAL CYCLONES AND EARTHQUAKES). STAKEHOLDER COMMUNITIES RARELY QUANTIFY THESE.RISKS DUE TO LIMITED MODELING DATA OR ANALYTICAL CAPABILITIES..3. WHAT IS THE WORST-CASE DISASTER SCENARIO? EXTREME PRIMARY HAZARDS (E.G. EARTHQUAKES .HURRICANES) THAT TRIGGER WIDESPREAD LANDSLIDING AND CASCADING IMPACTS WITHIN POPULATED AREAS.REPRESENTS THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO FOR THIS WORK. EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE GORKHA EARTHQUAKE NEPAL .AND HURRICANE MARIA IN PUERTO RICO..4. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF BUILDING LANDSLIDE RESILIENCE? ONE OF THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THIS WORK IS TO.DEVELOP MORE ROBUST DECISION MAKING FRAMEWORKS TO IMPROVE CHARACTERIZATION OF COMMUNITY.RESILIENCE TO LANDSLIDES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A STRONGER EVIDENCE BASE FOR DISASTER RISK REDUCTION. BY.ARMING STAKEHOLDERS WITH KNOWLEDGE OF LOCAL TO GLOBAL SCALE LANDSLIDE RISKS IT PROVIDES.COMMUNITIES AND NATIONAL AGENCIES THE ABILITY TO ADAPT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES TO MITIGATE.AND RECOVER FROM THESE HAZARDS IN TERMS OF SHOCKS AND STRESSES..5. WHO ARE THE STAKEHOLDERS AND WHY ARE THEY COMMITTED? THE PARTNERS INVOLVED IN THIS WORK.REPRESENT DECISION MAKING AND CAPACITY BUILDING ORGANIZATIONS FROM LOCAL CITY GOVERNMENTS TO.GLOBAL FINANCIAL ORGANIZATIONS. THEIR INTERESTS NEEDS AND OUTCOMES ARE SUMMARIZED IN TABLE 1..
