Landslide Hazards

Landslide hazards refer to the risk of large amounts of soil, rock, and debris moving down slopes due to gravity. These events can be triggered by heavy rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic activity, or human activities like construction. When a landslide occurs, it can cause significant damage to homes, roads, and infrastructure, and pose serious safety risks to people in the area. Understanding the factors that contribute to landslides, such as the landscape and weather conditions, is essential for preventing and managing these hazards effectively. Preparedness and early warning can help reduce their impact on communities.
