Short summary
We propose a new method to define rainfall thresholds for debris flows and increased stream activity. Developed in an Alpine catchment, it relies on monitoring data and is suited to early warning in data-scarce settings with few recorded debris-flow events. The study examines sensitivity to rain-gauge placement and to the criteria used to define rainfall events.
