The impacts of destructive earthquakes on rainfall thresholds for triggering the debris flows have not yet been well investigated, due to lacks of data.

The Lueyang and Xunyang counties in the Shaanxi province (China) are highly susceptible to rainfall-induced landslides. Rainfall thresholds are the most used tool to predict the occurrence of rainfall-induced landslides over large areas.

Rainfall induced shallow landslides: rainfall thresholds and antecedent conditions
<p>Landslides are a natural hazard affecting alpine regions all over the world. They cause not only substantial economic damages, but also human casualties. The focus here is on rainfall induced shallow landslides, which happen following an increase in the pore water pressure in the soil.

Flooding threshold rainfall events in Bermuda [PDF]
Recently, much media attention has been drawn to the relatively frequent ‘nuisance’ flooding of urban low‐lying and poor drainage areas in Bermuda. This flooding results in traffic disruptions and loss of business, with only minor property damage. More significant flooding with property inundations is relatively rare.

Empirical atmospheric thresholds for debris flows and flash floods in the southern French Alps [PDF]
Debris flows and flash floods are often preceded by intense, convective rainfall. The establishment of reliable rainfall thresholds is an important component for quantitative hazard and risk assessment, and for the development of an early warning system.

Lack of rainfall information at high temporal resolution in areas with a complex topography as the Tropical Andes is one of the main obstacles to study its rainfall dynamics.

Three strong storms that occurred on July 21, 2012, July 20, 2016, and July 16, 2018 caused severe flooding and debris flows in the mountain areas of Beijing. The detailed records of these storms and the actual occurrence time of the debris flows provide

Physical Interpretation of Rainfall Thresholds or Runoff-Generated Debris Flows [PDF]
Rainfall thresholds for the occurrence of debris flows are commonly defined by Intensity-Duration curves (ID thresholds). Interestingly, many empirical ID thresholds show up as straight lines in a log-log plot and therefore can be expressed by power-law ...

Rainfall-Induced Landslide Thresholds Development by Considering Different Rainfall Parameters: A Review [PDF]
This paper reviews the development of landslide thresholds from the perspective of rainfall and climate patterns. For certain, geology, morphology, lithology, etc., contribute to the initiation of the mass movement.

Threshold modeling of extreme spatial rainfall [PDF]
We propose an approach to spatial modeling of extreme rainfall, based on max‐stable processes fitted using partial duration series and a censored threshold likelihood function. The resulting models are coherent with classical extreme‐value theory and allow the consistent treatment of spatial dependence of rainfall using ideas related to those of ...
