The problem
Hill communities need timely warnings, but static hazard maps ignore rainfall as it happens.
What to build
Develop a model that combines slope, soil and live rainfall into a rolling risk score with alert thresholds.
Success looks like
Risk scores that rank known past landslide locations high during the triggering storms in a back-test.
Suggested technologies
- Terrain analysis
- Rainfall data
- Susceptibility modelling
- Threshold alerts
- Back-testing
