Build retaining walls
Build retaining walls to fortify slopes using concrete, steel, and other hard materials.
Clear vegetation and debris from culverts more frequently
Clear vegetation and debris from drainage systems and clear drains more frequently to prevent clogging and flooding, especially before major storms. Determine appropriate maintenance schedule
Establish setback requirements for roads near slopes
Reduce landslide risk by building roads away from unstable slopes.
Grade or terrace slopes
Modify the slope gradient by redistributing soil or rock mass or creating flat or gently sloping areas on steep slopes to minimize landslide potential.
Implement sensor technologies and monitoring programs and increase awareness of monitoring systems
Employ cameras and sensors to help monitor and prepare for a variety of storm events. For example, sensors could be used to monitor rainfall, runoff,
Install geosynthetic filtering fabrics
Install geosynthetic filtering fabrics (i.e., geotextiles, geogrids, geocells) to reinforce soil.
