"Nepal and Japan's disaster experts jointly proposed a landslide disaster prevention center after the landslides have adversely affected various fields such as infrastructure, arable land, people's place of residence, life, etc. The government has proposed landslide priority matters We should preferentially give priority to saving our property and lives. "Last year's landslide was the main cause of death from disasters, accounting for 29% of the total. I recorded a total of 83 deaths in 2017 - interestingly, government statistics show the deaths of 70 people. My difference is that my data includes falling rocks and landslides related to construction activities. This is the cumulative number of deaths due to landslides in Nepal in 2017. -

Every year, landslides kill hundreds of people, bringing billions of dollars of damage all over the world. Landslides swallow the village and kill people and animals. Rocks, earth and debris that falls and slides down flattens homes, cars, and root trees. If the substance spills over the roads or railway tracks, traffic may be disturbed, accidents may occur, and sometimes it may result in death. When rocks fall from the height into the lake, they create waves that threaten the coast settlements. When a large amount of material falls, it applies air walls before it. That wind may be enough to knock down trees and homes. When the material strikes the ground, it emits a dust cloud that can darken the sky and spread over a wide area. Landslides also overwhelmed the bars and wires, and the area lost power and communication with the outside world. Landslides also can pollute hills and mountains and strike off earth, trees and other vegetation.
