Landslide hazard zoning
Landslide hazard zoning is a process used to identify and map areas that are at risk of landslides. This involves studying the geography, soil, and rainfall patterns of a region to determine where landslides are likely to occur. By creating hazard zones—ranging from low to high risk—communities can better prepare for potential landslides. This information helps in urban planning, construction, and implementing safety measures, ultimately reducing the risk to people and property in vulnerable areas.
