Liputan6.com, Banjarnegara - Banjarnegara Regency, Central Java was identified as one of the most landslide-prone areas in Central Java. The ground movement haunts some areas, especially those in the mountains with high elevation levels.

The dimensions are quite large, with a depth of two meters and a length of 20 meters. In addition, the road is also cracked. No kidding, cracks stretched along 50 meters.

"The Limbangan-Plipiran road below Dukuh Munggang is 300 meters from the Scales, cracks and sinks cannot be passed by vehicles," said the Chairperson of the Banjarnegara Indonesian Inter-Population Radio (RAPI), Tejo Sumarno, Tuesday, August 28, 2018.

The soil movement that occurred in the Munggang Hamlet shows that even though the risk of landslides decreases in the dry season, it does not mean that the risk of soil movement is completely absent. Because, triggering landslides can be triggered by other causes.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Banjarnegara BPBD, Arif Rachman explained, from the results of the temporary assessment, landslides that caused the road body to collapse were triggered by the leaking of the irrigation channel which was above the avalanche area.

The slide was caused by days of heavy monsoon rains and comes just several days after passage of Super Typhoon "Mangkhut," the most powerful storm of the year so far, and another massive landslide that left dozens dead.

Although Naga City didn't take a direct hit from the typhoon, the storm system exacerbated monsoon rains and the city received plenty of water over the past couple of days.

Entire community in northeastern B.C. ordered to evacuate due to landslide

The Peace River Regional District has ordered the entire area of Old Fort evacuated, a week after a slow-moving landslide cut off the only road to the small community in northeastern B.C. — but at least one resident says some refuse to leave.
In a statement, the district said the order was issued because of an “immediate danger to life” due to a slow-moving landslide that struck last Sunday about one kilometre away from the main part of the community, which has about 30 homes and about 200 residents.
The community is about a 15-minute drive south of Fort St. John, flanked by large hills in a valley running alongside the Peace River. Landslides are common in the area.
This landslide has wiped out the only road leading in and out of Old Fort, about one kilometre away from the homes, and the Peace River District says there now appears to be some instability in the part of the hill directly behind the homes as the slide continues to slowly shift.
The district has issued previous evacuation orders and alerts to a number of properties throughout the week.
Resident Gord Pardy says power to the community has been on and off throughout the week as the slide has shifted and crews have attempted to restore services.
“I’m very angry. I’m extremely angry. And it’s because we’ve been living through this process where it seems like nobody is in control of the situation,” Pardy said.
Boat taxis and buses for evacuees
Boat taxis and buses will be transporting evacuees along the Peace River and then by bus to a reception centre at the Pomeroy Sport Centre in Fort St. John, just north of Old Fort.
The district says domestic animals — including dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils and fish — will be allowed on the boat taxis and buses if they are caged or on a leash.
That’s not of much help to Pardy and his wife, Bobbi, who own a 32-year-old horse they don’t expect would survive the journey.
“We’re going to fight for it,” Bobbi Pardy said.
The district said residents should not return home until the order is rescinded. But Gord Pardy said he is one of many residents who have no intention of leaving.
Pardy doesn’t deny the slide is a big deal — but he doesn’t think his home is at any risk because the slide is moving so slowly and he says it doesn’t appear to be affecting the area directly behind his home.
“I don’t think it’s going to get to my home. I’m worried about some of the homes that are on the edge of the community more than mine,” he said.
“I don’t think it’s going to get here and there’s no indication that the hill behind us is moving.”
Pardy says he’s also worried about keeping his home warm and safe. Temperatures have been dipping well below zero at night, he said, and it snowed Saturday night.
“My house will freeze. I’ve got to keep the heat on in the house,” he said.
“There’s many people that are going to be staying here and keeping an eye on things. I think that’s the best security we’re going to have.”
But a spokesperson for the regional district said staying put is a risky plan.
“We have an engineering geologist who has looked at the site and cannot guarantee life safety,” said Deborah Jones-Middleton, emergency operation centre director for the Peace River Regional District.
Landslide movement ‘unpredictable’
The landslide has been ripping up the earth near the small town since Sept. 30, knocking out heat, power and water for residents.
The district said a helicopter survey of the area found evidence of stress cracks and other signs of instability throughout the area.
It’s also posed a risk for crews, who aren’t able to access the area, the district said.
The district said the landslide’s movement remains “significant and unpredictable.” Recent snowfall has also reduced visibility

Seven killed in 'massive landslide' in Uganda.

Residents in the Hawkins County area express they were shocked when they first heard of it.

"I guess it was one of those thing that you see that in California, but you'd never expect that here in Hawkins County that you would wake up one day and just realize that they would have to be evacuated from their homes because of something like a landslide," said Avery Fields, a Hawkins county resident.

At least three families were asked to evacuate and emergency responders say they're still worried about what is yet to come.

"Right now all the mountain ranges we have we are concerned about," said Gary Murrell, Hawkins County EMA Director. "We actually thought this morning that the slide wasn't gonna be there. We thought it would be at the next curve but it was not there."

One resident, Millard Hartley, has lived in the Rogersville area for over twenty five years. He has farmland on the other side of the State Route 70 landslide and is concerned the rain might make things worse.

"We've lived over here since 1993 and I have not seen it this wet in a long time," Hartley said.

Hartley also says he knew Steven Lawson's family and is devastated by the tragedy.

"I didn't know Steve, said Hartley. "I knew his family. They are good family oriented people and I'm just sorry this happened."

According to the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the road will be closed long term.

Woman Presumed Dead In Landslide at Fort Funston

February 23, 2019

Two women and a dog were caught in a landslide on a cliff at Fort Funston Friday afternoon. One woman and the dog were immediately rescued, and the second woman, said to be in her twenties, remains missing.

Update: The missing woman remains unfound as of Sunday morning, and rescuers now fear that her remains could have washed out to sea along with piles of debris on the beach, during multiple high tides since Friday.

The rescue mission became a recovery mission at 6 p.m. Friday night, as CBS SF reports, after the woman was presumed to have spent over three hours underneath the dirt.

San Francisco Fire Department rescuers reportedly added a boat to the search effort Saturday because tidewaters overnight may have washed away the pile of sand the woman was buried in.

The two women were reportedly trying to climb up the sand cliff around 2:30 p.m. Friday when it collapsed, and the rescue operation began at 2:40 p.m.

SF fire crews continue to search for the person believed to be buried under a massive amount of sand at Fort Funston. It's been more than two hours since the slide. One woman was rescued.

As KTVU reports, 65 workers and several dogs were part of the search effort, and cadaver dogs were called in later in the evening.

San Francisco Fire Department spokesperson Lt. Jonathan Baxter tells the Chronicle that the two women were seen by bystanders about halfway up the 80-foot cliff when the ground gave way. Bystanders were able to quickly find and rescue one woman and the dog, and she was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The search for the second woman resumed Saturday, and Baxter says, "The likelihood that this is going to be a survivable incident is very unlikely."

A road in Colorado is closed indefinitely due to a massive rock slide that produced two boulders large enough to wipe out a significant portion of the pavement.

According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, the boulders struck Colorado 145 on Friday between Cortez and Telluride. The slide included dirt and other rocks.

The two huge boulders destroyed the full width of the highway pavement, leaving a trench about 8 feet deep across both lanes. The road is impassable, the department said.

One of the boulders remains embedded on the highway, according to the Colorado DOT, which described it as the size of a building and said it will have to be blasted into smaller pieces before being moved off the highway.

“A geo-technical team, equipment and supplies are being mobilized to the site, but it is not known when the road can be re-opened,” the department said in a post on Facebook.

Bluff Collapse Closes Main Road to San Diego County Fair

May 28 2019

A main road used by crowds of people to get to the San Diego County Fair will be closed for at least another week and a half as construction crews repair the damage done by a bluff collapse last month. 

Northbound Jimmy Durante Boulevard has been blocked off to drivers since on April 20. 

Repairs began earlier this month but the road is not expected to officially reopen until at least June 4 - after the first weekend of the San Diego County Fair.

The city of Del Mar declared a local emergency to expedite repairs and help recover expenses. On Tuesday, construction crews told NBC 7 the repairs were ahead of schedule. 

However, the San Diego County Fair kicks off May 31 and an average of 60,000 people are expected to attend the fair each day. The fair is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. 

Traffic will be rerouted on Camino del Mar to Via De La Valle. Drivers will see signs and people holding flags to help them navigate the detour. 

The cost of repairs is estimated at $1 million.

Avalanche Strands Cyclists on Glacier Park’s Sun Road

It took eight hours for park staff to clear a path through a large avalanche to reach 13 cyclists on the far side

May 28, 2019

A rockslide and an avalanche near Triple Arches on the Going-to-the-Sun Road left 13 cyclists stranded for eight hours on Memorial Day.

Glacier National Park officials closed the Going-to-the-Sun Road above The Loop on May 27 after a separate rockslide came down on the road and prevented emergency vehicle travel. However, many cyclists were already above the rockslide when the closure was put into effect.

Later in the day, a large avalanche came down on the road at Triple Arches. The snow slide was caught on video by a number of visitors in the area.

No one was injured in either the rockslide or avalanche.

Two volunteer bike patrollers were in the area at the time of the slide and relayed a call for help to park dispatch and a team of more than a dozen park staff, including rangers and equipment operators, were mobilized. An avalanche forecaster with the U.S. Geological Survey was also called to the site.

After clearing the rockslide, and ensuring that the avalanche had stabilized, park staff began to clear a path through the avalanche to gain access to the stranded cyclists. The 13 cyclists were trapped on the other side of the slide for about eight hours. Park officials said they were cold, but otherwise in good spirits.

A number of visitors chose to cross the avalanche so that they could continue their ride to Logan Pass. Park officials said that behavior is strongly discouraged and could lead to significant injury. If you must cross an avalanche path as a last resort, use a spotter to watch for additional slide activity up the mountain and cross one at a time.

“If you see fresh snow on the side of the road or across the road, even if you are excited about your bike trip, turn around,” Chief Ranger Paul Austin said in a press release issued Tuesday. “Take responsibility for your safety and though disappointing, plan on heading out another day. Biking along the Going-to-the-Sun Road is not the same as an easy bike trip around town.”

Glacier reminds visitors that conditions change rapidly in the park. Always pack extra food, bring extra clothes, and learn about potential hazards that may exist in the area you plan to visit.

Late last week, plow crews on the west side of the Going-to-the-Sun Road reached the Continental Divide at Logan Pass. The east side crews are now working in the area of Siyeh Bend. Both crews will converge on the “Big Drift” in the coming days, a section of road just east of Logan Pass, that typically sees drifts of 40 to 80 feet deep.

Although plows are making quick work of snow in Glacier Park, it will still be at least a month before the Sun Road opens to vehicle traffic due to road construction. The park is conducting a number of pavement projects, including on the Sun Road, and the earliest the entire road will be open to vehicle traffic will be June 22.

As of May 28, the Sun Road was open to vehicle traffic between West Glacier and Avalanche on the west side and St. Mary to Jackson Glacier Overlook on the east side. Hiker and biker access is currently limited to The Loop on the west side as plow crews continue to work on the alpine sections of highway.
