Landslide risk assessment

Landslide risk assessment involves evaluating how likely a landslide is to occur in a specific area and its potential impact. This process considers factors like slope steepness, soil stability, weather patterns, and land use. Engineers and geologists analyze these elements using field inspections, maps, and modeling to identify vulnerable zones. The goal is to understand the risk level, so communities can implement preventive measures or avoid high-risk areas, helping protect lives, property, and infrastructure from landslide hazards.
