ABSTRACT

More detailed mapping and risk zoning of landslides is ongoing since 1999 involving about 1000 landslide-prone counties. The key task of this investigation is to indicate the potential zones of landslides, to formulate emergency preparedness, and to establish warning systems. About 79 000 potential landslides are being probed, and 400 000 of landslide warnings are followed, in the framework of a complete monitoring system from state to province, to county, to village. The program brings together experts and citizens, mainly through citizen monitoring and prevention.
