Landslide Risk Zones

Landslide Risk Zones are designated areas where the likelihood of landslides is higher due to factors like steep slopes, loose or unstable soil, heavy rainfall, and geological conditions. These zones help identify places where landslides could occur, especially during storms or earthquakes. Understanding these zones allows residents, developers, and authorities to take precautions, such as avoiding construction or implementing stabilization measures, to reduce potential damage and enhance safety. Essentially, they are maps highlighting areas at greater risk of landslides, aiding in informed land use and disaster preparedness planning.
