Heavy rains and strong winds keep hitting Manado. Why does this lead to local landslides?

The power of nature is so powerful that human beings can't compete with it. What we have always been most afraid of is the disaster brought by the forces of nature, which cannot be changed or completely prevented by human beings. A natural disaster occurred in Manado, Indonesia. Due to the continuous heavy rain and rainstorm, a landslide occurred in Manado. At present, six people have died because of this disaster. Most people only know that heavy rains and strong winds will lead to landslides, but most people don't know why. When it rains heavily, it will soften the soil on the hillside and reduce the strength of rock and soil. Moreover, once it rains heavily, water will wash the side of the mountain and make it more flat. Then once the rock and soil are loose, it is easy to roll down and landslides will occur.

Casualties caused by landslides are something we don't want to see, so we should make every effort to reduce the harm caused by landslides to people. First of all, we should gather professionals to survey the geology and determine whether landslides will occur in the current heavy rain. For places prone to landslides, local meteorological departments must carefully observe the weather behind them every day. If it is found that there will be a rainstorm, it is necessary to inform other government departments in time, and the government departments should make timely preparations to inform residents not to go out in such weather, or to find a safe place to gather residents in that place.

Residents should choose a suitable place to build a house, not a place with loose soil. Before choosing a building, it is necessary to observe the terrain and pay attention to the stability of landslides. If there has been a landslide in this place, it is necessary to choose another place. Also build the house firmly, and move it in time when you see cracks in the wall of the house or where there are cracks. Residents should also learn how to protect themselves when encountering landslides, and don't be in a state of panic when encountering landslides again. Even if there is nothing nearby to shelter from the rain, they should observe the surrounding environment and save themselves in time. After the landslide, we must assemble the team in time and go to the place where the landslide occurred to treat the local people.

Landslides are very harmful. Landslides are floods caused by heavy rains. The flood will take away a lot of gravel and soil. Rushing down the hill is very impactful. Such an impact can destroy many things. It can be said that few things can survive where landslides pass. Moreover, if there is a road under the mountain, it is likely to hinder traffic and affect people's going to the place where landslides occur for treatment.
