Table 2 The warning levels of creeping landslide in Zigui County.

From: Analysis of rainfall response and graded warning for landslides

Warning level

Stage of deformation

Disaster occurrence situation

Defense measures

Continuous rainfall for n days(mm)

1–2

Basically no deformation or minimal deformation

Small possibility

Not taking measures or paying attention to the monitoring of disaster points

0–78.3

3

Slow deformation

Medium possibility

Initiate group measurement and prevention work at disaster risk points, reminding people in the disaster area to pay attention to the dynamics of the disaster

78.3–160.1

4

Constant velocity deformation or brief acceleration deformation

Greater possibility

Strengthen monitoring of disaster points and implement preventive emergency measures for disaster risk areas

160.1–196.6

5

Accelerate deformation to failure

Maximum possibility

Monitor hidden danger points, organize emergency evacuation routes and disaster relief systems

 > 196.6
