Abstract

Rapid and effective assessment of the landslide risk and its spatial distribution after the earthquake provide good support for earthquake emergency rescue. In this paper, we develop a landslide risk map in the Sichuan-Yunnan region for post-earthquake emergency rescue with grid technology based on historical seismic landslide data of Wenchuan earthquake. The historical data of Wenchuan earthquake is extracted based on the Aster images. The seismic landslide risk assessment model is introduced based on logistic regression model, in which seismic intensity and slop of digital elevation model are selected as influence factors (input parameters). Then we grid the landslide risk estimation model to generate landslide risk maps in resolution of 90 m. So the risk maps are prepared before earthquake, the landslide risk can be quickly estimated after earthquake according to few information acquired from earthquake monitor network, such as magnitude, focal depth, earthquake location. Finally, a seismic landslide risk assessment system was developed to realize the application of the risk maps.
