The National Building Research Organization (NBRO) has issued an urgent landslide warning for several regions in Sri Lanka, urging residents to remain vigilant.
The affected areas include the Ella, Passara, Hali Ela, and Haputale Divisional Secretariat Divisions in the Badulla District, as well as the Medadumbara Divisional Secretariat in the Kandy District.
The warning comes in light of recent weather conditions, which have led to an increased risk of landslides. Authorities are advising the public to take necessary precautions and avoid areas prone to landslide hazards. Residents in these regions are urged to stay updated on weather forecasts and to follow any evacuation orders if issued.
The NBRO has emphasized the need for heightened awareness, particularly in mountainous and steep terrain, as heavy rainfall may further increase the risk of landslides.
For more updates, residents are encouraged to monitor local news channels and official announcements from the NBRO.
