Landslide warning signs

Springs, seeps or saturated ground in areas that are not usually wet.
New cracks or unusual bulges in the ground, street or sidewalks.
Soil moving away from foundations, or the tilting or cracking of concrete floors and foundations.
Sunken or down-dropped road beds.
Rapid increase in creek water levels, possibly accompanied by increased soil content.

HO
A sudden decrease in creek water levels even though rain is still falling or just recently stopped.

SINK LES
Unusual sounds, such as trees cracking or boulders knocking together, might indicate moving debris.
