    1. Although this landslide does not appear to have been directly triggered by an earthquake, the frequent earthquakes caused by plates colliding build steep slopes and high mountains that can become very unstable.
    2. Papua New Guinea sits right on a plate boundary, where these large, rigid parts of the earth plough into each other.
    3. Deforestation can make landslides more prevalent by destroying this biological mesh.

    1. In this year, we have had extraordinary rainfall that has caused flooding in river areas, sea level rise in coastal areas, and landslips in a few areas.
    2. Nature, through a disastrous landslip, submerged or covered the village and from our initial estimation over 2,000 people would have perished in this disaster.
