Detailed Description

This table illustrates how debris-flow likelihood and potential volume class rankings are combined to determine the relative level of debris-flow hazard for drainage basins and stream segments in recently burned areas.

Predicting the probability and volume of postwildfire debris flows in the intermountain western United States Predicting the probability and volume of postwildfire debris flows in the intermountain western United States

Empirical models to estimate the probability of occurrence and volume of postwildfire debris flows can be quickly implemented in a geographic information system (GIS) to generate debris-flow hazard maps either before or immediately following wildfires. Models that can be used to calculate the probability of debris-flow production from individual drainage basins in response to a given...
