What is a Landslide?
•Movement of rock, earth, or debris down a slope, often triggered by heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities.
Why It Matters:
•Understanding the link between climate change and weather patterns is vital for community preparedness and effective landslide monitoring and mitigation.
Climate Changes:
•Average global temperature has risen by 1.2°C since the late 19th century due to global warming and human activities like fossil fuel burning and deforestation.
Impact on Rainfall:
•Increased frequency and intensity of rainfall events, with a 20% rise in heavy rainfall from 1980 to 2020, heightening landslide risks.
Monitoring tool :
•Promoting LHASA to prevent high impact residual area.
•Advanced alerting
