Removal of debris material from the slide zone and flow path, no settlement should be allowed in the near vicinity of the flow path, anthropogenic activities blocking the flow path/natural channel should not be done.
During heavy rainfall, infiltration of water resulted in increased pore water pressure and decreased shear strength of the overburden material due to infiltration of water along the slope. Intense surface run off carried the slided debris downslope, resu
