Since rapidly moving debris flows are one of the most dangerous natural hazards to people and property worldwide, methods of determining when and where they will occur are important to local, regional, and national officials responsible for public safety and emergency response. These proceedings present the results of an interantional forum of scientists, engineers, and academics on various aspects of debris-flow harzards mitigation. Topics include debris-flow response of watersheds recently burned by fire, structures for controlling debris flow, systems for detecting and monitoring debris flow, case studies of assessing debris-flow hazards, and numerical simulation and modeling of debris flow.
