When encountering a landslide, you should quickly escape to both sides perpendicular to the direction of the landslide . Avoid running upstream or downstream in the direction of the landslide, and do not stay in a concave slope.

If you are in the middle of a landslide and cannot escape, you should find an open area with a gentle slope to stay, or hold onto a large tree or other fixed object, and avoid getting too close to objects that may collapse or carry electricity, such as houses, walls, and electric poles. After the landslide stops, do not return to the original place immediately to avoid a secondary landslide.
