Geoscape Nanaimo Geoscience for central Vancouver Island communities Landslide!
Landslides are common on the steep wet slopes of Vancouver Island. They may be large or small, rapid or slow, natural or human-induced, but they generally require steep slopes and a trigger such as rain or an earthquake. Planning for development on or near unstable slopes requires careful assessment of the risk. Where the risk is too high, development should be avoided.
