Should We Do During Landslide?

Evacuate immediately if landslide is likely. If you cannot evacuate and are inside, curl into a ball and protect your head. Prepare for secondary risks such as flooding, downed power lines, and damaged buildings.

What should we not do during a landslide?

Do not touch or walk over loose material and electrical wiring or pole. Do not built houses near steep slopes and near drainage path. Do not drink contaminated water directly from rivers, springs, wells but rain water if collected directly without is fine.

How do you prepare for a landslide?

Prepare for landslides by following proper land-use procedures - avoid building near steep slopes, close to mountain edges, near drainage ways or along natural erosion valleys. Become familiar with the land around you. Learn whether landslides have occurred in your area by contacting local officials.
