Just last night I appeared on a local TV Station, KCPQ-13 here in the Seattle area. The topic was landslides. I wasn't able to cover all the the things listed below, but I tried to hit the high points. See my talking points below:
Here is a list of talking points I can use — I did come up with a few tips that homeowners can do to help prevent shallow slides:
• Landslides in the Puget Sound area normally occur during the months of January and February, after the ground gets saturated from winter rains.
• Slides are caused by water, gravity and generally a layer of clay that lets loose.
• If the record rains of October continue (and for 2016 Washington is 10” of rain above normal) then we could have problems.
• The best way to avoid landslides is not to live or work in an area that has a landslide history.
• Seattle has over a 100-year history of mapping where landslides have occurred. The Seattle Office of Emergency Management has a hazard map that includes landslides as one hazard.
o Avoid those hazard areas.
o Those million-dollar views can sometimes be very expensive.
