[Objective]This study proposes a single-channel and regional early warning model for gully-type mudflows in loess areas, which provides a reference for early warning of mudflows in loess region. [Methods]Data related to mudflow formation, including rainfall conditions, topographic conditions and geological conditions, were collected from the literature for analysis. The mudflow early-warning model was developed by using the generalized mudflow early-warning method to provide single-gully and regional early warning for mudflows in some areas of the Loess Plateau. Moreover, the model was compared with the early-warning method that is based on the critical rainfall intensity. [Results]In single-gully early warning, the success rate of the mudflow early-warning model for 47 mudflow events in the loess region was approximately 90%. In regional early warning, the success rate of the mudflow early-warning model for Xifeng District, Zhenyuan County, and Yan'an City was almost 100%. The success rate of the simplified rainfall early-warning model for mudflows in the loess region was approximately 90% by using the integrated precipitation threshold value. [Conclusion]Compared with previous studies, where the mudflow early-warning method is based on the critical rainfall intensity, the model developed in this study that is meant for single-gully and regional early warning of mudflows in the loess region comprehensively considers the crucial factors, has high accuracy and ensures detailed early-warning results.
