The following are measures you may adopt to protect yourself from landslide or rubble detachment effects:
• Do not build near steep slopes, next to the skirt of a mountain, near sewage ducts or natural valleys.
• Get a terrain assessment of your property.
• Ask an expert to receive guidance about corrective measures you might take.
• Reduce risks at home to a minimum: Install flexible substances to avoid water or gas leaking, since these flexible accessories are more resistant to breakage (only the gas company or a professional must conduct has installations).
