To prevent landslides, some measures that can be taken are:

  1. Planting vegetation on slopes to stabilize the soil with roots.
  2. Constructing retaining walls or barriers to support the slope.
  3. Installing drainage systems to redirect water away from slopes.
  4. Avoiding deforestation and maintaining natural vegetation cover.
  5. Monitoring slope stability regularly to detect any signs of movement early.
  6. Properly managing construction activities on slopes to prevent destabilization.
  7. Implementing erosion control measures to prevent soil erosion on slopes.
  8. Properly diverting surface water away from slopes to prevent saturation of the soil.
