Landslide webinar for those living on bluffs above the railroad tracks
Property owners and residents along the bluffs above the railroad tracks are encouraged to learn more about the risks of landslides in your neighborhood. This video is of a webinar for homeowners that was held on May 12, 2025, to share information about landslides with those living in Clark County, Washington. However, it is relevant for anyone living above steep slopes who wants to learn more about how landslides occur and actions you can take to reduce the risks.
The webinar was hosted by the Washington State Department of Transportation, Clark County, BNSF Railway, and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources.
The slides presented at the webinar (PDF 3.996 KB) are available for review and downloading, including information on landslide warning signs and ways you can protect your property.
