MITIGATION STRATEGIES TO PREVENT

LOSS OF LIVES AND PROPERTIES IN CASE

OF LANDSLIDE
LANDSLIDE- refers to several forms of mass wasting
that include a wide range of ground movements, such
as rockfalls, deep-seatedslope failures, mudflows and
debris FLOWS.
 WHAT TO DO BEFORE A LANDSLIDE

1.Its good to secure clearance from the mines

and Geosciences Bureau(MGB)on status of
possible landslides.
2.Help prepare the members of the family for
evacuation upon the direction of proper
authorities.
2.Maintain a list of contact numbers during
emergencies.
4.Participate in planting grasses to cover
slopes or in building riprap to prevent soil
erosion.
5.Participate in regular drills on evacuation
procedures.
6.Help promote public awareness and
involvement on landslide mitigation.
7.Help develop family preparedness and
evacuation plan.
WHAT TO DO DURING LANDSLIDE

1.Evacuate immediately if warned of an impending

landslide or mudflow.
2.Stay away from the path of landslide
debris,or seek refuge behind a sturdy tree or
boulder.
3.Get out of house as soon as possible when
rumbling sounds are heard from upstream or
the trembling of the ground is felt,indicating a
possible mudflow.
4.Run across a slope,not downwards.
WHAT TO DO AFTER A LANDSLIDE

1.Examine througly the damaged parts and

utilities of the house before re-occupying it.
2.Stay away from the landslide area.There
may be danger of additional landslides.
3.Help check w/ caution injured and trapped
persons within the landslide area and direct
rescuers to their location.

4.Listen to local radio or

television stations for the
latest emergency
information.
5.Help in seeking the advice of a geotechnical
expert to evaluate landslide hazards or design
corrective measures to reduce landslide risk.
GEOLOGICAL HAZARD MAP

 The following are examples of Geological

Hazard Maps.Learn how to interpret these
maps,as part of preparation and precautionary
measures to avoid or mitigate the effects
these different hazard may cause.
