Welcome to MoSSaiC
Welcome to MoSSaiC…..at this site you can find out more about managing landslide hazard in the Tropics.
Landslide hazard affects both infrastructure and communities for which the MoSSaiC vision is to provide low cost community based solutions, such as low cost drains and other related measures.
Over the last 4 years we have:
- been awarded >US1.5 Million for low cost community based landslide risk construction
- undertaken risk reduction projects in 4 Countries in the Eastern Caribbean [British Virgin Islands, Dominica, St. Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines] involving 10 communities
- received the Trevethick Prize from the Institution of Civil Engineers, London, UK. for a research paper on the MoSSaiC methodology in 2007
- had site project visits from international agencies including World Bank, Organisiation of Eastern Caribbean States [OECS], United Nations Development Programme [UNDP], Caribbean Development Bank and US Agency for International Development [USAID]
