Landslide Hazards in Lao PDR
CONTEXT OF THE PHOUKHOUNE DISTRICT • Landslides are becoming of the major threats and present dangers to humans, infrastructure, lifeline facilities and assets. • The present level of risk is already high and it can grow and become higher and higher in the near future. • The prevailing landslide hazard risk observed in the areas, is due to several factors, natural as well as main-made and triggered predominantly due to higher precipitation events (2011, 2015, 2016, 2018). • The impacts to sectors such as agriculture, Environment and natural resources, Forest etc. is moderate to high with damaged crops and blockaded road.
