Landslide hazard assessment

Landslide hazard assessment is the process of evaluating areas to determine the likelihood of landslides occurring. This involves analyzing factors like the slope of the land, soil types, rainfall patterns, and human activities. By understanding these elements, experts can identify vulnerable locations and predict when and where landslides might happen. The goal is to inform land use planning, improve safety measures, and minimize risks to people and property. Essentially, it helps communities prepare for and respond to potential landslide threats.
