What does RED color mean regarding the susceptibility of an area for a geohazard map?

• a.  low susceptibility-less likely to be experience landslide; Be prepared. 
• a.  moderately susceptible; be cautious. 
• highly susceptible; Be alert and ready to evacuate. 

Hazard that occurs due to the downward movement of geological materials such as soil and rock. 

• fire
• flashfloods
• landslides
• sinkholes

Type of landslides that is generally slow, involve soil, and travel short distances; 

• creeps
• mudslide
• slumps
• rock fall

Type of landslides that involve both soil and rock, travel short distances and vary from slow to very rapid

• creeps

• creeps
• mudslides
• rock fall
• slumps

Type of landslides that is generally involve saturated soils moving at very to extremely rapid velocities and travel great distances.

• creeps
• mudslides
• rock fall
• slumps

A geohazard that is describe as the depressions or openings in the ground surface.

• fire
• flashflood
• landslide
• sinkhole

Type of sinkhole that occur where there is little soil or vegetation over the soluble rock.

• Cover-collapse sinkholes 
• Cover-subsidence sinkholes  
• Dissolution sinkholes
• Karst terrain

Type of sinkhole that tend to develop gradually where the covering sediments are permeable and contain sand. 

• Cover-collapse sinkholes 
• Cover-subsidence sinkholes  
• Dissolution sinkholes
