Landslide statistics in Switzerland Sample Clauses

Landslide statistics in Switzerland. Landslides represent a major threat to human life, property and constructed facilities, infrastructure and natural environment in most mountainous regions of the world (Figure 2.3.1). In Switzerland, more than 6% of the territory is affected by permanently slow movements or sub-critically stable zones (Noverraz and Bonnard 1990; Bonnard 2006). An average of nine people die each year in floods, debris flows, landslides and avalanches (FSO & FOEN 2008). The economical cost of the damage amounted to a total of 8000 million Euros within the last 36 years and is constantly rising (Figure 2.3.2). Due to urban sprawl, more and more material assets are located in hazard zones, leading to an increased vulnerability of the infrastructure.
