The long-term post-seismic behaviour of mountain slopes is complex and hardly 11 predictable. Nevertheless, the integrated use of field monitoring, remote sensing and real-time 12 predictive modelling can help to set-up effective early warning systems, provide timely alarms, 13 optimize rescue operations and perform secondary hazard assessments. We believe that a 14 comprehensive discussion on post-seismic slope stability and on its implications for policy makers 15 can no longer be postponed. 16 17 1 Introduction: the 2017 Xinmo landslide, the lasting legacy of earthquakes 18 On June 24 th , 2017, after days of not-so-heavy rain, a 13 million m 3 rock and debris 19 avalanche submerged the village of Xinmo (in the eastern margin of the Tibetan plateau, Sichuan, 20 China) with impressive energy, rushing towards the river and blocking its course for more than 1 21 kilometre.
