Landslide on a national road

Landslides

Landslides, also known as mudslides and debris flow, may occur in all parts of Idaho 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 prepare for a mudslide is to stay informed about changes in and around your home and area that could signal that a landslide is likely to occur. Look for changes in and around your home and area that could signal that a landslide 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 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 as local authorities may not immediately be able to provide information on what is happening and what you should do. You should listen to NOAA Weather Radio, watch TV, listen to the radio or check the internet often for official news and instructions as they become available.
