Wayanad Landslides: A Highly Probable ‘Grey Rhino’ Event

• A study by the People’s Scientific Study Committee on Mundakkai-Chooralmala landslides identifies the landslide as a ‘grey rhino event’, a highly probable, high-impact event.

• The landslide occurred in a landslide-prone area, a result of excessive human interference with nature.

• The Western Ghats face increasing risks from landslides due to unchecked development and environmental degradation.

• The report recommends strict environmental regulations for development activities, local community involvement in project planning, and laws to remove people and settlements from landslide pathways.

• Emergency response measures include hyper-local meteorological forecasts, Doppler radars, India-specific weather models, investigation of cloudbursts, and a pledge to fully decarbonise Kerala by 2045-50.
