Abstract

Debris flow disasters are usually accompanied by serious losses of lives and properties. As one of the important and effective means of disaster non-engineering mitigation measures, disaster management is extremely important for disaster mitigation and sustainable development of economy and society. Taking the Shenshui watershed, Magui town, located in typhoon-hit areas in western Guangdong Province as the study area, the concept of "small watershed functional map" was put forward firstly. Then, its application in debris flow disaster management was discussed based on numerical simulation of debris flows. The results show that disaster management based on "small watershed functional map" can improve the ability of watershed disaster mitigation and provide some references and examples to Chinese debris flow disaster management.
