Abstract
Abstract. The rock avalanche that destroyed the village of Xinmo in Sichuan, China, on
24 June 2017, brought the issue of landslide risk and disaster chain
management in highly seismic regions back into the spotlight. The long-term
post-seismic behaviour of mountain slopes is complex and hardly predictable.
Nevertheless, the integrated use of field monitoring, remote sensing and
real-time predictive modelling can help to set up effective early warning
systems, provide timely alarms, optimize rescue operations, and perform
secondary hazard assessments. We believe that a comprehensive discussion on
post-seismic slope stability and on its implications for policy makers can
no longer be postponed.
