This is crazy 😧

Details 🚨 The Atami landslide was a natural disaster which hit the city of Atami on the 3rd of July in 2021. It was caused by heavy rainfall which resulted in significant damage to the community of Atami in Japan. The debris flow by the landslide resulted in life lost, infrastructure damage and had various health consequences. It was argued that the landslide could have been prevented or better managed by local authorities. The role of climate change is evident especially in a country like Japan that experiences heavy rainfall. Better management of land use as well as disaster preparedness are critical to prevent and better manage future landslides in Japan The Atami landslide took place on 3 July 2021, with devastating repercussions. In 2021, there were an estimated 972 landslide disasters in Japan.Prior to the Atami landslide there had been very heavy rainfall from 30 June 2021 with flash floods. The city received a total of 432.5mm of rainfall over the four days prior to 3 July 2021, exceeding the average monthly rainfall of 243mm It has been discovered that there was illegal landfill management within the area of Aizomegawa River. A soil mound of over 50m high, that exceeded the permitted size regulations, triggered the landslide due to the excessive rain. Debris flow destroyed and damaged many houses and buildings. Despite issuing an emergency security order, evacuations were not completed swiftly. There were indications highlighting the possibility of a landslide occurring in the preceding months due to the rainfall patterns and early warning systems. These signs could have been used to evacuate citizens early, specifically the elderly and vulnerable. An additional learning outcome from this event is that landfill sites need to be monitored and investigated to ensure compliance with local guidelines, and prompt action is required from the community and local authorities if non-compliant.
