In Canada Landslide can happen every ten years. 786 Canadians have died from landslides in Canada The first week of May is preparedness week.  “Landslides most often happen in rocky, mountainous areas, but invisible underlying geologic conditions such as sensitive clay can collapse, causing landslides,” says Blais-Stevens. “This unstable soil is the most common cause of landslides in the St. Lawrence Valley, Ottawa to Quebec City, and as far as the Saguenay region.” Engineers have used a historical landslide map and database to judge risks before they build homes, roads, briges.
