Expert Committee on Landslides (ECL)

The Expert Committee on Landslides (ECL) is a specialized group of geologists, engineers, and researchers that studies landslides—mass movements of rock and soil down slopes. Their goal is to understand the causes, identify risky areas, and recommend ways to prevent or mitigate landslide hazards. They analyze terrain, monitor conditions, and develop guidelines to improve safety for communities and infrastructure. By providing expert advice and research, the ECL helps governments and organizations implement effective landslide risk management strategies, aiming to reduce damage, protect lives, and promote sustainable land use.
