N2 - The 2024 Hualien earthquake on April 3, eastern Taiwan, with a magnitude of 7.2, resulted in 18 fatalities and 1,155 injuries. Road networks suffered extensive damage, with 55 roadside landslides exacerbating the disruption. Preliminary mapping identified over 3,239 landslides with sizes ranging from 62 to 524,113 m2, primarily clustered in areas experiencing peak ground acceleration exceeding 250 cm/s2. Four landslide dams were formed post-event, including one near a hydropower station. The following impacts heighten concerns about hazards such as frequent unstable slope failures, debris flows caused by intense rainfall, and subsequent coseismic rockfalls occur due to strong aftershocks.
