Problems:

  • Homes for the victims to stay after the landslide; many victims were lucky to be able to stay with their respective relatives


Infrastructure problems by landslides:
  • Roads were blocked by the landslides and destroyed.


Economical problems by landslides:
  • How much has this victim lost due to the loss of house.
  • Are they insured for natural disasters such as landslides?


Environmental problems by landslides:
  • Trees are fall down and the remaining soil can get eroded.




Solutions:


Social aspects:
  • Education for disasters needed to deal with potential and future disasters; the places that are chosen for buildings should not be on hilly areas.

Infrastructure:
  • Wall retention should be provided along the roads, houses, etc.

Economic:
  • Provides some campaign or charities to help the victims.
  • To prevent the landslide, the government should provides some expenses on creating wall retentions.
  • to upgrade more on the knowledge on natural phenomenon, the government should provide more expertise in order to prevent this matter before it happens again.

Environment:
