Landslide Assessment

Landslide assessment involves evaluating the risk of land movements, like slopes collapsing or shifting, to protect people and property. This process examines factors such as soil and rock stability, slope steepness, drainage conditions, and recent environmental changes like rainfall or construction. By analyzing these elements through field inspections, data collection, and sometimes technology like geographic information systems (GIS), experts can identify areas at higher risk. This helps in planning safe land use, designing mitigation measures, and preventing damage or loss due to landslides.
