NOTE ON POST DIASTER LAND SLIDE STUDIES_Malappuram,Palakad

Description
-
In June 2018, heavy rainfall in the Malappuram and Palakkad districts of Kerala triggered multiple landslides, leading a Geological Survey of India team to assess 13 events, including debris flows and slides. The primary causes identified include slope excavation, river erosion, poor drainage maintenance, and natural geological factors. Each landslide was documented with specific attributes, revealing that many were exacerbated by prior land modifications for agriculture, which blocked natural drainage. The study recommends immediate and long-term remedial measures such as maintaining drainage systems and removing obstructive debris to prevent future incidents.
