Warning and evacuation are among the most effective ways for saving human lives and properties from landslide dam hazards. A new warning decision model for landslide dam break is developed using Influence Diagrams to minimize the total losses. An Influence Diagram is a simple visual representation of a decision problem. It analyzes the qualitative (causal) relationships between the variables  via  a logic diagram and determines the quantitative relationships  via  conditional probability and Bayes’ theorem. The model is applied for the warning decision-making of the 2008 Tangjiashan landslide dam. The new model unifies the dam failure probability, evacuation, life loss, and flood damage in an Influence Diagram. Besides, a warning criterion is proposed for efficient decision-making. The model is more advanced than the decision tree since the inter-relationships of influence factors are qualitatively analyzed with causality connections and quantitatively analyzed with conditional probabilities. It is more efficient than a dynamic decision-making model (DYDEM) as it can directly calculate the three types of flood loss (i.e., evacuation cost, flood damage, and monetized life loss) and the expected total loss. Moreover, the probabilities of the influence factors leading to known results can be obtained through inversion analysis based on Bayesian theory. The new warning decision model offers an efficient way to save lives from landslide dam breaking and avoid unnecessary expenses from premature warning and evacuation.
