SMART (System for Monitoring and Assessment of Rainfall-induced Landslides)

SMART (System for Monitoring and Assessment of Rainfall-induced Landslides) is a technology that uses sensors, weather data, and computer models to predict and detect landslides caused by heavy rainfall. By monitoring factors like ground movement and rainfall intensity, it helps authorities assess landslide risk in real-time. This system enhances early warning capabilities, allowing communities to prepare or evacuate before a landslide occurs, ultimately reducing damage and saving lives. SMART combines science and technology to better understand and manage landslide hazards related to rainfall.
