Description
-
Landslide risk management in India involves the assessment and zoning of areas based on their susceptibility to landslides, using methodologies like GIS analysis to prioritize factors such as slope and rainfall. Historical studies have highlighted the impact of human activities, like construction and deforestation, on landslide occurrences, particularly in regions like Nilgiris, which experienced severe landslides in 2009 due to heavy rains and unsafe development practices. Recommendations for improving safety include stricter zoning laws, enhanced monitoring of rainfall and slopes, and comprehensive planning to avoid future disasters in high-risk areas.
