Listen for unusual sounds that might indicate moving debris, such as trees cracking or boulders knocking together.
2. If you are near a stream or channel, be alert for any sudden increase or decrease in water flow and notice whether the water changes from clear to muddy. Such changes may mean there is debris flow activity upstream so be prepared to move quickly.]]> 2017-10-13 13:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/1510123/hazards/wish/196804675 What are two ways you can be prepared for a landslide? 1510123 https://padlet.com/1510123/hazards/wish/196805848 1.
