Phoukune District

Water catchment around Phoukhune district, which located in top ridge of several drainage system. Frequent landslide in major road, remote areas, peaked in august within rainy season.

Landslide Hazards in Lao PDR

CONTEXT OF THE PHOUKHOUNE DISTRICT

• Landslides are becoming of the major threats and present

dangers to humans, infrastructure, lifeline facilities and assets.

• The present level of risk is already high and it can grow and

become higher and higher in the near future.

• The prevailing landslide hazard risk observed in the areas, is

due to several factors, natural as well as main-made and triggered predominantly due to higher precipitation events (2011, 2015, 2016, 2018).

• The impacts to sectors such as agriculture, Environment and

natural resources, Forest etc. is moderate to high with damaged crops and blockaded road.
