Chapter 6:Hazard Analysis—Landslides and Rock Falls <br /> oa.a <br /> u <br /> w p, ocean saiaw..aw.r coaem� <br /> a <br /> ®rw <br /> xa.a rTpxm•.,e <br /> Figure 6-4. Precipitation and groundwater condition on Hawaii Island <br /> • HAZUS-MH MR4 provides susceptibility categories combining slope angle, soil type <br /> and soil moisture in ten categories (I to X), with an assigned yield acceleration to <br /> each category. The combined susceptibility categories when mapped thus represent <br /> zones of potential landslide triggering under different levels of ground shaking. <br /> • The ten HAZUS risk zones were converted to polygon shape files and mapped <br /> to census blocks/tracts, with an interface to Geodatabase (NAD83) so that <br /> HAZUS SHAKEMAP runs will then interpret triggering criteria and assign a <br /> triggered or non triggered assessment for a given earthquake scenario, and <br /> then incorporate loss estimates with other HAZUS estimate modules. <br /> 6-6 Hawaii County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />
