Landslides and E-Resilience
A landslide is the movement of rock, earth, or debris down a sloped section of land. Landslides are caused by rain, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or other factors that make the slope unstable. Landslides can have severe consequences for people and critical ICT infrastructure in Asia and the Pacific. The E-Resilience Toolkit offers insights into a spectrum of available ICT tools and best practices that may benefit policymakers, DRM professionals and vulnerable communities in the Asia-Pacific region to enhance e-resilience and disaster risk management in the context of landslide hazard.
