As discussed in <br /> the previous section the HAZUS Earthquake model incorporates potential losses due to <br /> landslides into its economic loss predictions. Currently there is no way of quantifying the <br /> total risk of landslides and rock falls due to other hazards such as heavy rain and coastal <br /> erosion, other than history. <br /> 6-7 Hawaii County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />
