In order to evaluate the danger of debris flow properly, eight factors were selected as the risk assessment indexes of the debris flow, namely the vertical slope, valley relative difference, hillside slope, area of basin, loose solid material reserves, the path length of sediment supply probability, silting and scouring derricking and vegetation coverage. The improved Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used to obtain the weights of the factors; and the efficacy coefficient method was adopted to evaluate the risks of six typical debris flow gullies. According to the research, the improved AHP method not only avoids the subjectivity in the individual factor valuation by comparing two factors of each layer, but also makes the subsequent consistency check unnecessary.
