Dear authors,
We have now received two reviews and two very detailed answers by the authors, along with some modified sections of the manuscript + some possible Annexes. All these support the improvement of the manuscript. We encourage the authors to submit their final revised version of the manuscript assuming also:
- a careful technical review of the grammar (some mix of passive/active voices are used - please homogeneize)e and figures (some typos errors in some of them ) for instantce Guezzeti instead of Guzzetti on figure 6, and so on)
- a more in depth discussion on the generosity of the approach used for establishing the EW thresholds in other cases ...

Thanks for considering NHESS for possibly publishing this very interesting analysis.
Best regards,
Jean-Philippe Malet

Dear authors,

The responses to the referee and editor comments are extensive and adequate. We thank the authors for taking care of all the comments provided in the earlier reviews. The paper can certainly be considered as publishable from a scientific point of view. However, though the authors mention that a careful reading by a translation company has been realized, the English language is far from being at a minimum standard. There are still many grammatical / vocabulary errors throughout the text (and indeed too many to be summarized by myself) that need to be corrected.

I give an example below, just for the abstract:

"One of the purposes of landslide research is to establish an early warning method for rainfall-induced landslides. The insufficient observations of the past, however, have inhibited the analysis of critical rainfall conditions. This dilemma may be resolved by extracting the times of landslide occurrences from the seismic signals recorded by adjacent seismic stations."

should be rephrased in

"One of the purpose of landslide research is to establish early-warning thresholds for rainfall-induced landslides. Insufficient observations of past events inhibited the analysis of critical rainfall conditions triggering landslides. This difficulty may be resolved by extracting the timing of landslide occurrences from the analysis of seismic signals recoded by close seismic stations."

And so on …

Looking forward in receiving your revised version integrating an enhancement of the English language.

Best regards,
Jean-Philippe Malet
