Landslide prediction
Slope stability assessment is a core element of the MoSSaiC vision. Field evidence shows the complex relationships between precipitation, soil properties, vegetation and slope geometries in respect of potential failure.
It is appropriate therefore to use a software package that allows for
the assessment of process controls on slope instability that ../includes
the provision for unsaturated soil water conditions, bioengineering,
and dynamic pore pressure modelling. CHASM TM
has been installed on selected St Lucian government machines for dedicated
use on the MoSSaiC programme.
Public awareness is an important aspect of improving slope stability conditions. Recognising the needs of Communities and individuals such that they can understand and participate in both planning processes and decisions in respect of slope stability improvement measures is very important.
MoSSaiC is involved with document design for individuals, delivery of courses to Communities and the provision and design of low cost slope stability measures for such groups.
