Landslide Risk Management

The Practitioner only needs to provide risk treatment requirements for the following situation:

  • Cases of very high risk.
  • Cases having unacceptable risk.
  • Cases where the owner/client agrees to implement risk treatment.
  • All cases where risk can be reduced by reasonable risk treatment methods.
  • This is not part of the Practitioners mandate/responsibility.

It is not possible to remove risk, but it can be reduced. Risk mitigation options should include robust engineering design to reduce uncertainties and hence risk. Risk minimization should be a governing feature or tenet of LRM.
