Malaysian Slope Safety Web Site

CKC, the slope engineering division of the Malaysian Public Works Department, have put together a website to provide advice to the public on slope safety:

http://slopes.jkr.gov.my/Slopesafety/default.html


Using a very simple structure, it provides a mass of very straightforward advice on what landslides are, why they happen, how to determine whether a slope problem is developing, and what to do in the event of a landslide. Whilst it clearly has a very strong Malaysian focus, it contains a wealth of information that is pertinent to other places.
