BS ISO 22327:2018,Security and resilience — Emergency management — Guidelines for implementation of a community-based landslide early warning system.
BS ISO 22327:2018 gives guidelines for a landslide early warning system. It provides a definition, aims to improve understanding, describes methods and procedures to be implemented, and gives examples of types of activities.
Landslides are one of the most widespread and commonly occurring natural hazards. Landslides may occur in different types of topographic and geologic settings. The occurrence of landslides may increase significantly due to uncontrolled land use development and human interference into unstable slopes. In many countries, landslides cause substantial socio-economical losses.
Landslide mitigation can be carried out both by structural and non-structural efforts. Structural mitigation includes adjustment of slope geometry, slope reinforcement, and protection and improvementof drainage systems, all of which require a high cost. The alternative option of relocation is not practical for residents living in areas prone to landslides. As a result, the most effective disaster risk reduction can be achieved by non-structural mitigation through improvement of the community’s preparednessby implementing an early warning system.Now you can download BS ISO 22327:2018.
