Landslides and Landslide Hazards in Washington State Due to February 5-9, 1996 Storm
"During the week of February 4, 1996, cumulative rainfall levels of up to 23 in. fell in areas of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Combined records of rainfall and water equivalent of snowmelt were as high as 39 in. for this period in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest of southern Washington (National Resources Conservation Service, water and Climate Center, Portland, Oregon). Areas of highest rainfall intensities were centered on the Oregon-Washington border. Estimates of damage from the floods and landslides exceed $300 million (FEMA Interagency Hazard Mitigation Team, 1996) in Washington and Oregon alone. [...] The following text describes in greater detail the areas of high, moderate, and low landslide concentrations, noteworthy individual landslide sites, factors affecting landslide concentrations, and estimations of the landslide hazards that potentially still exist."

Hazard Analysis of Landslides Triggered by Typhoon Chata'an on July 2, 2002, in Chuuk State, Federated States of Micronesia
From the Abstract: "More than 250 landslides were triggered across the eastern volcanic islands of Chuuk State in the Federated States of Micronesia by torrential rainfall from tropical storm Chata'an on July 2, 2002. [...] This report first presents an overview of the landslide event, the types and distribution of landsliding triggered by Chata'an, and individual descriptions of some of the significant landslides. The report then discusses continuing hazards from landslides for the islands affected by Chata'an. To address landslide hazard, the report presents a landslide (debris-flow) hazard map and discusses possible uses of this map."

When Volcanoes Fall Down--Catastrophic Collapse and Debris Avalanches
From the Document: "Despite their seeming permanence, volcanoes are prone to catastrophic collapse that can affect vast areas in a matter of minutes. Large collapses begin as gigantic landslides that quickly transform to debris avalanches--chaotically tumbling masses of rock debris that can sweep down-slope at extremely high velocities, inundating areas far beyond the volcano. Rapid burial by the debris avalanches themselves, associated eruptions and lahars (volcanic mudflows), and inundation by tsunamis triggered when avalanches impact bodies of water can all cause widespread devastation to people and property."
