Landslide Hazard Mitigation

Landslide hazard mitigation involves strategies to reduce the risk and impact of landslides on people, property, and the environment. This includes identifying vulnerable areas through geological assessments, modifying landscapes with stabilization techniques like retaining walls or drainage systems, and implementing land-use planning to avoid building in high-risk zones. Education and early warning systems are also crucial to prepare communities and respond effectively. Together, these approaches aim to prevent landslides or lessen their damage, ensuring safety and preserving ecosystems in at-risk areas.
