We compared our work with several publications on GIS modelling
of geohazards susceptibility relating to the Wenchuan earthquake.
The study area of Su et al. (2010) is in Qingchuan Country
whilst that of Wang et al. (2010) is in the Yingxiu–Dujiangyan region;
both are outside our study area. The susceptibility map of earthquake
related geohazards (Fig. 14a) that we produced bears remarkable
similarity to the landslide susceptibility map produced by Tang et al.
(2011a) but the study areas are not exactly the same. We have close
collaboration with Tang's team but the work we presented here has
been done independently and using different models. Tang's model
has significant field data input for control and verification whilst
ours does not. Tang's work corroborates the credibility of our mode
