Understanding risk
High
Multiple landslides are very likely to occur in the Sitka area. There have been three storms in the last 20 years with similarly intense rainfall, and all three of them initiated multiple landslides.
Medium
Landslides are possible. Isolated landslides have occurred in Sitka with similarly intense rainfall in the past.
Low
Landslides are unlikely based on historic observations in the last 20 years. Rainfall-induced landslides have not been documented for these rainfall conditions.
