Be Prepared

Introduction

  • Seek professional advice.
  • Find out from your council if there have been landslides in your area before and where they might occur again.
  • Check for signs that the ground may be moving. These signs include:  
    • Sticking doors and window frames
    • Gaps where frames are not fitting properly
    • Decks and verandahs moving or tilting away from the rest of the house
    • New cracks or bulges on the ground, road or footpath
    • Leaning trees, retaining walls or fences
    • Water springs, seeps or waterlogged ground in areas that are not usually wet.
