A: Landslides can be caused by a variety of factors, including rainfall, earthquakes, and volcanoes. They can be devastating to both people and property, and often result in loss of life. Although we can’t necessarily prevent landslides from occurring, there are mitigations steps we can take to protect our homes and property.

A: Landslides and debris flows are both dangerous and can cause extensive damage. However, landslides tend to occur over a longer period of time, while debris flows are much quicker and can take people by surprise.

A: No outside food or drink (including alcohol) is allowed into the venue, but you can bring food and water into the campgrounds. You can bring your own tent for camping, and RV/camper/bus is allowed but no fee is required. There is a refund policy for tickets.

A: Intense rainstorms, large earthquakes, weak rock, steep slopes, and deforestation are the most common causes of landslides in New Zealand.

A: The Green Lake landslide in Fiordland is thought to be the most significant catastrophic landslide in New Zealand.

A: Landslides can be caused by a combination of different factors, both manmade and geological.

A: There’s no definitive answer to this question because landslides can occur at any time of the year. However, the most common time of the year for landslides is during episodes of heavy rainfall and winter.

A: We make custom apparel faster and cheaper than anyone else.

A: There is no sure way to predict when a natural hazard will occur, but there are some warning signs that can help you avoid being caught in one.

A:

A: No, people cannot cause earthquakes.

A: The states most susceptible to landslides are those that experience large amounts of precipitation and have harsh climates. These include California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii.

A: DIC insurance is a type of property insurance that covers perils that are excluded from standard property coverage.

A: There are many earthquake detection networks around the world, and earthquakes occur at a relatively constant rate. The largest earthquake in recent history was the 1960 Chilean earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.5 and caused the death of more than 2000 people. In Canada, the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) records and locates over 4000 earthquakes each year, and of these, only about 50 are generally felt.

A: The largest earthquake recorded in Canada was a magnitude 8.1 event that struck just off the Haida Gwaii on Canada's west coast on August 22, 1949.

A: Seismologists at the Geological Survey of Canada produce seismic hazard maps for use in the National Building Code of Canada.

A: There are no active faults in the east or north of Canada, so the probability of an earthquake is not increased. However, it is possible to build your own seismograph.

A: The safest type of structure is a modern, well-designed, and well-constructed building. However, even these structures are prone to damage from soil failure, chimneys may be damaged or collapse, windows may break, interior walls may crack, and those houses not securely bolted to their foundation may fail at or near ground level.

A: Be prepared for an earthquake by having a plan and supplies ready. When an earthquake happens, stay calm and follow instructions from authorities. Be aware of the risk of tsunamis after an earthquake and evacuate to higher ground if necessary.

A: Earthquakes can cause damage to buildings, but modern buildings are designed to withstand them. Seismologists study earthquakes to better understand them and their effects.
