This study aimed to identify the geomorphology at Mount Kinabalu after 5th June 2015 earthquake, defined the area’s most susceptible to debris flow as well as to assess the contributing factors that leading to earthquakeinduced debris flows at Mount Kinabalu, Sabah. Having a fundamental study about geomorphology, mechanism of debris flows as well as the contributing factor can help people to be aware and alert about this kind of phenomenon around them. In achieving the objective, satellite image are used to analyze slope angle, drainage system and lineaments. Besides, earthquake and rainfall data were obtained from Malaysian Meteorological Department while the geological and geotechnical data of study area were obtained from the previous research. Based on the analysis data, the Mw 5.9 earthquake had caused a large avalanche of earth and rock on Mount Kinabalu. The existence of discontinuities such as joints on Mount Kinabalu weakened the strength of the rock and easily break when vibration was released due to aftershocks. Nine days of continuous rainfall after the earthquake had contributed to the occurrence of debris flow. It had affected four river system that originated from Mount Kinabalu that flow in the direction of the existing natural channel system. The debris flow also contributed by the slope angle that found to be between 24° to 33° as well as the major direction of dominant lineament on the affected river which is the same direction as the debris flow occurred that are range from N40°E to N80°E and N60°W and N70°W. Above all, the occurrence of debris flow in Mount Kinabalu was first initiated by the earthquake followed by continuous rainfall that was assisted together with the slope angle, drainage system, lineaments and lithology of the study area. In conclusion, precautionary measures need to be taken at Mount Kinabalu because it has the possibility of debris flow to occur again as tremors still felt around Mount Kinabalu which induced the movement of loose soil and rock, turn into debris flow when triggered by rainfall, slope angle, lineaments and drainage system fahmimoksen UTM 117 p.
