Quantitative Risk Assessment

Risk Analysis

The estimated fatalities, N could be estimated by:

N = V x Total N
DT
where,

•V is the vulnerability of the person to the landslide event
DT

Various F-N pairs are then calculated such that:

F = f for N 1 (most serious event)
1
1
F = f + f 2
1
2
F = f + f + f , and so forth
3

1
3
where,
•N is the estimated fatalities with N > N > N 3
1
2
•f is the estimated annual frequency of each event

•F is the cumulative frequency of N or more fatalities per annum
