Each card comes from its own source. Only NBRI issues landslide warnings. How these cards work
NBRI’s advice, as issued:Since the rainfall within the past 24 hours has exceeded 150 mm, if the rains continue, evacuate to a safe location to avoid the risk of landslides, slope failures, rock falls, cutting failures and ground subsidence.
