Abstract
- In this study, a Bayesian network (BN)-based inhibition model is developed for the rainstorm–landslide–debris flow (R-L-D) disaster chain in the mountainous area of the Greater Bay Area (GBA), China, using the historical disaster data. Twelve nodes are selected for the inhibition model, which are classified into four types, including Hazardous Factor, Response Operation, Disaster Evolution, and Disaster Result. By combining the proposed inhibition with the scenario analysis method, the probabilities of the BN nodes under different rainfall scenarios are analyzed, and then the inhibitory effects of the environmental geological conditions and rescue speed on the R-L-D disaster chain under the most unfavorable rainfall scenario are investigated. On this basis, an inhibition framework consisting of the early warning, inhibition, and measures layers is proposed for the R-L-D disaster chain. The results reveal that under the most unfavorable rainfall scenarios, where the rainfall intensity is greater than 100 mm/d and the rainfall duration is greater than 24 h, the probability of landslides and debris flow is 0.930 and 0.665, respectively. Improving the environmental geological conditions such as slope, lithology and geological structure can greatly inhibit the occurrence of the R-L-D disaster chain. Moreover, the improvement of geological structure conditions is the most significant, and reduces the probability of landslides and debris flow by 0.684 and 0.430, respectively, as well as reducing the probability of death and direct economic loss by 0.411 and 0.619, respectively. Similarly, increasing the rescue speed leads to a reduction in the probability of death and direct economic loss by 0.201 and 0.355, respectively. This study can provide theoretical and practical insights into the prevention and inhibition of the R-L-D disaster chain.
