From Dry Slopes to Disaster Zones: Why Landslide Modeling Needs a Rain Check
When do landslides actually happen? Not when the slope is steep—but when it’s steep, saturated, and pushed past its tipping point. And yet: most landslide models in use today ignore that final push. They tell us where landslides might occur based on slope and soil—but not when. And that omission is what leaves so many […]
From Tragedy to Resilience: How AI is Transforming Disaster Management
This article summarizes a talk that Teren CEO Toby Kraft gave at Enercom Denver August 20th, 2025. A Tragic 4th On July 4, 2025, communities in Texas Hill Country were blindsided by a 20-foot wall of water. In less than 90 minutes, a convective burst unleashed over 12 inches of rainfall – more than Denver’s […]
What Makes a Good Hazard Model for Critical Infrastructure Operations? 6 Questions to Ask
Hazard models are everywhere, from FEMA flood maps to state landslide inventories to national wildfire indices. But not all models are created equal. For infrastructure operators (be it pipelines, utilities, transportation, renewables and beyond), integrity engineers, and damage prevention teams, these models directly influence decisions on where to deploy crews, how to prioritize integrity management […]
Wildfire Ready: How the USDA-NRCS Is Using Environmental Intelligence to Prioritize Forest and Rangeland Resilience
Introduction With over 500 million acres of U.S. grazing lands under growing wildfire pressure, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is advancing innovative strategies to address these challenges. Through the Rangeland and Forestland Fuel Management Hazard Zone Prioritization for Conservation Treatments project, commonly known as “NRCS Wildfire Ready,” the agency is piloting a scalable […]
Introducing Terevue Geotech Module: Predictive Insight for Landslide Risk
Pipeline operators, asset managers, and environmental engineers are under growing pressure to monitor and manage geotechnical hazards like landslides. Dormant threats can awaken with a single downpour, and policies such as PHMSA CFR 192.613 and ADB-2022-01 are now clear: pipeline operators must move beyond reactive responses and demonstrate proactive, risk-based management before severe weather turns […]
Introducing Terevue Hydrotech: Real-time Flood and Scour Risk Intelligence for Pipeline Operators
Flooding doesn’t wait for maps to be updated.
