Landslides refer to some earth and stone on the hillside moving downward under the gravity, which is a common geological disaster with great danger. The appearance of landslides is often accompanied by continuous rainfall, and because of its great destructive and surging power, human beings can't stop it. However, before landslides occur, there will be some signs. As long as you carefully observe and be alert, you can make timely countermeasures.
When you encounter a geological disaster like landslide, the best way to save yourself is to escape quickly, and don't cling to your belongings, because a short stay will make you desperate.
When you evacuate, you should pay attention to the position of the landslide, and you should escape perpendicular to the direction of the landslide mountain. At the same time, you should wrap your head with clothes around you to prevent you from being injured by the falling stones on the mountain. Even if you find that the power of the landslide has weakened or even stopped, don't rush home to check, because the mountain is already loose, it is very likely that there will be a continuous landslide danger in a short time, and you can only return when your residence is far away from the landslide area.
Some signs before the landslide are also a kind of early warning, such as cracks in the walls of houses, sudden difficulty in opening and closing doors and windows, sloping branches on the hillside, turbid water flowing down the mountain, animals such as mice and insects running around and crawling around, and so on. Combined with the local geological structure, it is necessary to judge whether there will be landslides.
In addition, before going out to play, if the destination is a mountainous area, you should pay attention to the weather before and after, avoid the continuous rainy weather, and choose the campsite on a flat and open highland, not on the riverbed and the hillside.
