Feel bad for the folks. Nobody is really looking out for these people.
I get it, the government here cannot control where folks build a house for lack of want to/control measures, but you'd think the roads might have a bit of oversight.
I'll admit I have no clue about landslides and how to prevent them. I do no that Mother Nature takes the path of least resistance and you'd think even the dumbest person wouldn't build in flood plains and/or in the path of running water.
Be well.

daluz said: That was the same issue with people in Macoa back in 2017. Squatters put up tin-shacks in places where the water cometh! Those who fail to remember history are condemned to repeat it!

Yeah, saw the same thing when we lived in the Caribbean. Unbalanced stilt leveled homes on hillsides and where the water flows.

Its kind of delicate balancing act. I remember going to Medellin from the airport in Rio Negro and seeing the sides of the hills washed out from rain. I think after I left one landslide completely shut down the road for a few months! You could plant something like crown vetch which would prevent erosion but it is considered an invasive species and I bet it would be very aggressive in the climate like that.
