How do I get ready for Landslides Landslides and Debris Flow. The following are things you can do to protect yourself, your family and your property from the effects of a landslide or debris flow To begin preparing, you should build an emergency kit and make a family communications plan. Prepare for landslides by following proper landuse procedures avoid building near steep slopes, close to mountain edges, near drainage ways or along natural erosion valleys. Become familiar with the land around you. Learn whether debris flows have occurred in your area by contacting local officials. Slopes where debris flows have occurred in the past are likely to experience them in the future. Get a ground assessment of your property. Consult a professional for advice on appropriate preventative measures for your home or business, such as flexible pipe fittings, which can better resist breakage. Protect your property by planting ground cover on slopes and building retaining walls. In mudflow areas, build channels or deflection walls to direct the flow around buildings. Be aware, however, if you build walls to divert debris flow and the flow lands on a neighbor's property, you may be liable for damages. If you are at risk from a landslide talk to your insurance agent. Debris flow may be covered by flood insurance policies from the National Flood Insurance Program. Recognize Landslide Warning Signs Changes occur in your landscape such as patterns of stormwater drainage on slopes especially the places where runoff water converges land movement, small slides, flows, or progressively leaning trees. Doors or windows stick or jam for the first time. New cracks appear in plaster, tile, brick, or foundations. Outside walls, walks, or stairs begin pulling away from the building. Slowly developing, widening cracks appear on the ground or on paved areas such as streets or driveways. Underground utility lines break. Bulging ground appears at the base of a slope. Water breaks through the ground surface in new locations. Fences, retaining walls, utility poles, or trees tilt or move. A faint rumbling sound that increases in volume is noticeable as the landslide nears. The ground slopes downward in one direction and may begin shifting in that direction under your feet. Unusual sounds, such as trees cracking or boulders knocking together, might indicate moving debris. Collapsed pavement, mud, fallen rocks, and other indications of possible debris flow can be seen when driving embankments along roadsides are particularly susceptible to landslides.

When you receive a thunderstorm warning or hear thunder, go inside immediately. If indoors, avoid running water or using landline phones. Electricity can travel through plumbing and phone lines. Protect your property. Unplug appliances and other electric devices. Secure outside furniture. If boating or swimming, get to land and find a sturdy, grounded shelter or vehicle immediately. If necessary, take shelter in a car with a metal top and sides. Do not touch anything metal. Avoid flooded roadways. Turn Around. Don't Drown. Just six inches of fastmoving water can knock you down, and one foot of moving water can sweep your vehicle away.
