LANDSLIP knowledge product: Institutional roles

This knowledge product sets out the role and responsibilities of a Geological Survey as the national nodal agency for landslide investigation. It highlights the roles and skills of other key organisations involved in the creation and delivery of an effective regional Landslide Early Warning System (LEWS).

A regional-scale landslide forecasting system relies on defined institutional roles and remits, with clear collaboration between national and sub-national partners and stakeholders. Within India, LANDSLIP supported the establishment of a National Landslide Forecasting Centre (NLFC) that oversees and manages this institutional coordination. The NLFC is run by the GSI, which holds a mandate as the nodal agency for landslide investigation in India.
