摘要：

Penang Island of Malaysia is vulnerable to various natural hazards due to its hilly terrain and weather. Due to recent rapid population and economic growth, the probability of disaster associated with natural hazards has increased. This article characterizes geological and geotechnical parameters collected from field data that relate to natural hazard susceptibility. The areas of investigation were chosen so that each area lay on different geological formations. The variations in selected parameters with depth were obtained. The correlation within parameters was established and was found to be in agreement with that from other researchers. The investigation identifies parameters that can be used to evaluate the degree of hazard susceptibility.
