LANDSLIP knowledge product : institutional roles

A regional-scale landslide forecasting system relies on defined
institutional roles and remits, with clear collaboration between
national and sub-national partners and stakeholders. Within
India, LANDSLIP supported the establishment of a National
Landslide Forecasting Centre (NLFC) that oversees and
manages this institutional coordination. The NLFC is run
by the GSI, which holds a mandate as the nodal agency
for landslide investigation in India.
This KP sets out the role and responsibilities of a Geological
Survey as the national nodal agency for landslide
investigation. It highlights the roles and skills of other key
organisations involved in the creation and delivery of an
effective regional Landslide Early Warning System (LEWS).
