Document Summary
Landslides: things that are slumps or slides and things that need to flow. Rock avalanches are one coherent rock, but all the others aren"t. Matters because, as a mud slide it fails but it also collects stuff as it goes down (water) slide: clean break and it moves together as one unit creep: creeps along and moves slowly. Creep indicators: things that are bent and trees are growing sideways. Equity: but society needs to work together to help the poor who are unable to fund (social solidarity: donating and gov"t organizations to step in when help is needed) Managing fires and some fire terms (some on mt and final) Norm: hand tools to clear line and make sure you get to soil. Big thing to worry about: wind pre-conditions: hot and dry weather (prolonged) and fuel & wind. Ground crew is useless at head of fire (area that is moving and spreading)
