Superintendent's Message
Superintendent’s Message Welcome! I am so grateful to have you here to help caretake Yosemite during these unprecedented circumstances. Thank you for your commitment to public service and public land during this challenging time. On behalf of the leadership team, we are deeply honored to have you as part of our world-class team. While not new to the park, I began here as the Acting Superintendent this past January. I’ve spent my career in the park service and most recently came from Point Reyes National Seashore where I’ve been superintendent since 2010. I have always been inspired at every opportunity to work with Yosemite’s passionate and talented staff and my experience since January has only underscored this sentiment. My vision for Yosemite in Summer 2020 is first and foremost to ensure the safety of our staff and visitors. Our physical and mental health are Commented [KN1]: I would say here something like, “I critical to our success as a park. We live closely with each other and with the dynamic natural landscape, both of have been impressed by the speak up culture here at which require us to be uniquely aware and resilient. I fully encourage each and every one of you to take Yosemite. If you ever feel unsafe in the task you are given, advantage of the support services available to you as an employee with the understanding that daily peer support please be sure to speak up and let your supervisor know.” is the most effective strategy benefitting us at individual and organizational levels.

Analysis of Landslide Hazards and Risks in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite
Volcanoes of the Eastern Sierra Nevada Analysis of Landslide Hazards and Risks in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California June 13, 2015 Madison Rocco Ferrara 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract………………………………………………………………………………………….. 3 Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………... 4 Geological History of Yosemite Valley………………………………………………………… 4 Causes of Landslides……………………………………………………………………………. 6 Hazards………………………………………………………………………………………….. 8 Risks………………………………………………………………………………………….… 11 Mitigation…………………………………………………………………………………….… 13 Conclusions…………………………………………………………………………………….. 15 References……………………………………………………………………...………………. 17 2 Abstract Landslides, rapid downslope movement of rock or soil, pose a risk to the nearly 4 million tourists (USGS, n.d.) that visit Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park, California every year. The National Park Service has made efforts to reduce the risks associated with landslide hazards by calculating a risk metric (risk level) for locations within Yosemite Valley. The National Park Service first mapped a rock fall hazard line by mapping boulders outlying the talus slope. The 90th-percentile distances, the distances at which there is a 10% probability that boulders will fall past this point, were then calculated and scaled for frequency using cosmogenic 10 Be exposure dating and STONE rock fall simulations. Using these components a rock fall hazard line was obtained and used to quantify a risk metric (risk level) at locations within Yosemite Valley. The risk metric was calculated by first identifying structures within the rock fall hazard zone and then assigning each location a numerical value based on the expected number of occupants and frequency of outlying boulder impacts in the area. The risk metric for locations within Yosemite Valley range from 0.1 (low risk) to 32.6 (high risk). This information has been used by the National Park Service to employ various mitigation techniques to reduce the risks associated with landslide hazards in Yosemite Valley.
