Malaysian Slope Safety Web Site
Posted by Dave Petley
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.

Dave Petley is the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hull in the United Kingdom. His blog provides commentary and analysis of landslide events occurring worldwide, including the landslides themselves, latest research, and conferences and meetings.
