2026 Venezuela Earthquake Sequence - Landslide Hazards
2026 Venezuela Earthquake Sequence - Landslide HazardsUSGS Imagery assessment of landslide extent and severity (as of 07/16/26). Verification remains ongoing. Color is based on USGS’s remote assessment. Landslide impact is classified as “Unknown” (yellow), “Minor or none” (green), “Localized” (orange), or “Major or Widespread” (purple).

Controls on post-fire debris flows in Oregon
Wildfire often amplifies the likelihood and magnitude of debris flows in steep terrain. In arid climates (e.g. US Mountain West and Southwest), post-fire debris flows typically occur during the first rains following fire, suggesting that rainfall-driven erosion is a strong control on in-channel preconditioning and triggering of these hazards.
