    Answer:

Landslides, also known as mudslides and debris flow, occur in all U.S. states and territories, and can be caused by a variety of factors including earthquakes, storms and fires. Landslides can occur quickly, often with little notice, the best way to plan for a mudslide is to stay informed about changes in and around your home that could signal that a Landslides is likely to occur. Look for changes in landscape and water drainage, or new cracks in foundations and sidewalks.

  • Prepare for landslides by following proper land-use procedures - avoid building near steep slopes or along natural erosion valleys.
  • Consult a professional for advice on appropriate preventative measures for your home or business, such as flexible pipe fittings, which can better resist breakage.

Stay informed
