LANDSLIP knowledge product : the landslide forecast bulletin

Within the context of a regional-scale landslide forecasting system, complex multidisciplinary data needs to come together to inform decision makers, in this case, sub-national government. For the LANDSLIP project, the National Geological Entity (Geological Survey of India (GSI)), the nodal agency for landslides in India, aimed to produce a daily forecast that would be delivered to sub-national stakeholders in two study areas (Darjeeling, West Bengal; The Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu) in the form of a prototype daily landslide forecast bulletin. This document provides an overview of this landslide forecast bulletin, highlighting its core content, the science underpinning the bulletin, its evolution, and related data management and decision support tools. It concludes with a summary of recommendations for others interested in landslide risk management, data management, decision-making and risk communication.
