Abstract
In the last 3 years Brazil was hit by the most important group of accidents related to landslides in the history of the country. The biggest accidents affected the States of Santa Catarina, Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco, Alagoas and Paraná. We estimated more than 20,000 landslides in these most important disasters and around 2,000 victims dead or disappeared. The effects of these accidents are enormous and in many cases the community will be paying the costs for long time. The group of CENACID-UFPR, Federal University of Paraná, responded to almost all of these accidents and developed a new approach to face the challenge of fast evaluation of risk in these events. This new approach is proposed as a tool to rapid and systematic evaluation of groups of landslides, which we call “landslides systems”. This methodology is called “Relative Rapid Landslides Analysis” and is based in five different indicators of risk.
