The hazard decision support system is an efficient method to avoid severe human damage by debris flow. Using modern technology, the multi-functional synthetical decision support system integrates debris flow monitoring, information transmission, forecast and alarm, estimate, evacuation and rescue plan to provide support for making mitigation strategic decision in all aspects before and after the disaster. The system was successfully utilised in debris flow hazard mitigation in the Dongchuan suburb in Yunnan Province. According to the data of monitoring and predicting, the system can simulate the movement of debris flow, and define the range and hazard zone of debris flow disaster. The result can be used to conduct disaster estimation, and prepare evacuation and rescue plan, which increases the degree of disaster mitigation.

Summary

In this paper, the scale of debris flow is determined for the purpose of prediction, and the movement is numerically simulated and the zone is drawn.

Summary

Accuracy of numerical simulation of debris flow movement and precision of debris flow forecast are two important factors to determine the effect of the system.

Summary

It is necessary to set up the -reduction auxiliary systemas an effective measure to avoid the heavy casualties caused by the debris flow with imperial scale.As the forecast function fails to work, the warning will play a role and avoid the heavy casualties caused by the debris flow disaster
