Landslide #1 Proposed Action Item: Alignment with Plan Goals: Goal 1, 2, 4 Support ongoing efforts to document and monitor landslide areas and make use of data when it is available. Rationale for Proposed Action Item: Supporting ongoing efforts to document and monitor landslide areas and make use of data when it is available should be done to identify areas prone to landslide and develop appropriate measures to prevent future landslides from affecting private property. The current landslide hazard maps are a compilation of the existing maps. These maps are a “work in progress” and have been compiled at widely varying scales and sometimes only depict risk for certain types of landslides. These various scales and levels of detail may lead to people to believe that some areas have no slope hazard, when in fact those areas just have not been evaluated yet. Systematic upgrading of these maps will lead to greater understanding of hazard locales. Focusing on areas that will be developed and will affect people and critical infrastructure will improve land use planning and provide for more efficient and cost effective development. Ideas for Implementation: Develop public information brochures that emphasize economic risk when building on potential or historical landslide areas; Identify funding sources to enhance site-specific geohazard mapping for the Urban Growth Boundary; and Identify existing mechanisms for public outreach.
