    Preventive Measures Taken in Areas Generally Prone to Landslides

    Some of the preventive measures are taken in areas prone to landslides in India to mitigate the disaster caused -

    • Installing an early warning system by monitoring climate and ground conditions. Strains in rocks, groundwater level, and slope displacement are early signs of landslides' warning.
    • Installing retaining walls, grouting rock joints, and fissures.
    • Diverting pathways of debris and rerouting underwater drainage systems.
    • Awareness programs are conducted to train the community to identify gaps, implement protective measures, and protect themselves and the community.

    Insurance Policies for People Living in Landslide Prone Areas


    People residing in areas affected by landslides in India should buy policies under the homeowner policy, which has "Difference in Condition" to protect your home, property, business, agricultural land, etc. Some of the products under such specific criteria are-

    • Content coverage covers the content of your home under landslide prone areas like furniture, valuables, etc.  
    • Earth movement coverage – This insurance covers a house or any other building on your property.
    • Flood insurance – Landslides are often caused by floods, where your home is affected by both flood and landslide; in such cases, this insurance will protect your loss.

    India has the largest chain of mountains, which is formed by the collision of land plates. This zone is the most landslide prone zone of India. The Natural Disaster Management department has taken all necessary measures to safeguard life in landslide prone areas in India. The Indian Government has deployed many other departments and resources to recover destruction in these areas.
