  2. Post-fire debris flows are particularly hazardous because they can occur with little warning, can exert great impulsive loads on objects in their paths, can strip vegetation, block drainage ways, damage structures, and endanger human life.

  3. May 30, 2024 · We present a global view of the effects of fire on geomorphic processes driven by water and gravity, such as interrill and rill erosion, dry ravel and debris flows, with a focus on forest and...

  4. Mar 27, 2023 · Learn how post-fire debris flows can have a devastating impact on communities, and what can be done to mitigate the risks with expert guidance from the WFCA.

  5. Fast-moving, highly destructive debris flows triggered by intense rainfall are one of the most dangerous post-fire hazards. The risk of floods and debris flows after fires increases due to vegetation loss and soil exposure.

  6. May 30, 2024 · Fire effects that promote increases in por e-water pressure include reductions in interception, which can allow more rainfall to infiltrat e, and decreases in transpiration, which can lead...

  7. Jun 9, 2023 · While poor air quality and scorched earth are a fire’s most visible impacts, wildfires affect people, the environment and even cities in multiple ways — from harming economies to heightening flood risks.

  8. Mar 17, 2011 · Two primary processes for the initiation of fire-related debris flows have been so far identified: (1) runoff-dominated erosion by surface overland flow; and (2) infiltration-triggered failure and mobilization of a discrete landslide mass.
