Landslide

 

Landslides, which are defined as the downhill movement of soil, rubble or rock mass, cause significant destruction. geological, climatic, geographical features and landslides occur frequently due to incorrect land use and often turn into disasters by repeating.

Regions with a humid climate, where long-term and abundant precipitation are effective, are the most affected by landslides are the regions where it is observed frequently and intensely. Social and economic losses caused by landslides in these regions are the most regions where it is high.

In different movement mechanisms such as flowing, sliding, falling and overturning landslides occur under the control of regionally significant geological, morphological and physical factors is coming.

Landslides are the destructive force of floods increasing loss of life and property increases.

Floods cause landslides while landslides increases the destructive power of floods. In this situation flood sizes are also increasing, loss of life and property increases.

PROTECTION FROM LANDSCAPES AND REDUCING THEIR DAMAGES

WHERE ARE LANDSCAP SENSITIVE AREAS?

Former landslide zones

Top and heel sections of natural slopes

Upper and heel cuts of old fillings

Top and heel sections of very steep and deep slopes

Hilly areas where waste systems are used and settlements develop

WHERE ARE THE SAFE AREAS FOR LANDSCAPES?

Slopes formed by hard and massive rocks where no movement has occurred in the past

Relatively low sloping lands where sudden changes in slope slope are not observed

Above or around the protruding ridges in the shape of the nose

WHAT TO DO WHEN SUSPECTED BY LANDSCAPING HAZARD?

The local government should be contacted immediately.

The environment that may be affected by the landslide should be informed.

Structures must be evacuated.

THINGS TO DO IN THE TIME OF LANDSCAPING

IF YOU ARE IN CLOSED AREA;

If you don't have enough time to exit the building and get away from the landslide area, stay inside

Perform the SLICK-STICK-HOLD movement by creating a life triangle under or next to solid items.

IF YOU ARE IN OPEN AREA;

In the event of danger, stay away from the path of a landslide or mud stream, and immediately move as high as possible and warn the people living around you against landslides.

If you don't have time to escape the mud and debris flow, or if you don't have a solid structure around to hide behind, protect your head and neck with the SHOCK-STICK-HOLD movement.

THINGS TO DO AFTER LANDSIDE

First of all, make sure you are safe. If necessary, secure yourself by moving away from the danger zone.

Turn off the electricity, gas and water sources near you immediately. Do not try to illuminate your location with matches or other flammable materials or electrical appliances until you are sure that there is no gas leak in your area. Use the flashlight.

If there are injured or needy people around, do not move them unless there is a danger such as fire or a new landslide.

Warn those around you about dangerous walls, roofs and chimneys and do not walk around them.

Listen to the warnings to be given to you by mass media such as radio and television.

Leave streets and streets blank for emergency vehicles.

Do not enter damaged buildings to get items.
