Nepal (Landslide susceptibility studies)

Nepal's landslide susceptibility studies assess which areas are most at risk of landslides, often caused by factors like heavy rainfall, steep slopes, and loose soil. These studies use geological data, terrain analysis, and climate patterns to identify vulnerable zones. The goal is to help communities, planners, and officials understand risk levels, enabling better land use planning, early warning systems, and mitigation strategies to reduce damage and protect lives and property. Such research is crucial in a mountainous country like Nepal, where landslides are common and can have serious consequences.
