Areas with weak soil, especially on slopes, are prone to landslides. Observe and report to authorities if there are cracks or other signs of dangerous ground movement.

Plants, especially trees, help hold the soil in place to prevent landslides. Houses should have a proper drainage system to prevent water from accumulating and weakening the soil.

Check with authorities if your area has an early warning system or alarm for landslides to prepare in advance.

Properly designed drainage systems prevent soil weakening and landslides. Build barriers or retaining walls in erosion-prone areas, especially on slopes. Ensure that water does not accumulate in one area, as it can trigger landslides.

Have an emergency kit containing a battery-operated radio, flashlight, batteries, medicine, water, food, and important documents.

Bridges or roads affected by landslides may lead to accidents. Find alternative routes and avoid areas with ground cracks or fallen trees.

Do not stay in areas with the possibility of further landslides. Look for sturdy structures or places that are not affected by the landslide.

Panic can cause more danger. Provide information to those around you and assist those in need, especially children, the elderly, or people with disabilities.

Loud noises or sudden ground shifts are signs of an imminent landslide. Evacuate immediately, especially if your home is near a slope or the ground around it has already weakened.

If you cannot escape immediately, take cover under a table or bed to protect yourself from falling debris. Think of ways to signal rescuers using sound or light.
