Before an Event

  • Learn about landslide risks in your area, especially if you live near a ravine or steep slope
  • If you are planning improvements or new development on your property, follow permitting requirements and involve technical experts like geotechnical (ground) engineers
  • Avoid actions that increase instability such as undercutting steep slopes, draining your pool on to a slope, or placing fill on a steep slope
  • Recognize warning signs that can precede a landslide such as slope cracks or bulges, sudden changes in stream flow, increases in murky water, debris accumulation, or falling rocks
  • Make an emergency kit in case you are trapped due to damaged roads or power lines

During an Event

  • Stay safe! Leave the area immediately if you hear sounds such as trees breaking or rocks moving
  • If indoors, go to an area of the building furthest away from an approaching landslide and take cover
  • Watch for secondary risks that can follow a landslide such as flooding, downed power lines, and damage to structures

After an Event

  • Report a landslide to your local authority or First Nation
  • Stay away from the slide area as the ground is still unstable
  • Listen to local media for updates
