ABSTRACT
During the 2005 Kashmir earthquake of magnitude 7.6, a huge number of landslides possibly close to 1000 were triggered. Those slope failures had drastically affected the communities and infrastructures in surrounding steep mountain valleys. Landslide remains the largest threat to the community, especially during the monsoon season in July and August. Major risks to the human life include slope failures in seismically disturbed slopes and later effects of the failed deposited material. Large sized cones of the debris are still an unresolved threat (Fig. 1), which can be seen in the limestone slope failure on the bank of River Neelum in north of Muzaffarabad, Pakistan.
