The risk results in this study are purely theoretical, being based on a hypothetical development scenario. However, the overall approach to hazard and consequence model development is of general application for estimating the risks posed to developments at the mouths of debris flow catchments. This example has concentrated on estimating the risk to people (i.e. individual or societal risk). However, the method could easily be adapted for evaluating the potential economic losses associated with debris flow events.
