Christopher met a young boy in the hospital who had been rescued from a massive landslide. This boy was the last person to hear his sister and cousin alive, all of them trapped in frightening darkness.

It is also a story about Aizawl, his fast-growing city in northeast India, where GeoHazards International is training geologists and engineers how to manage the considerable landslide risk.
Your support makes this happen.
Many thanks to Munich Re, a global reinsurer, for major support of Aizawl field courses; National Science Foundation; and the Building Materials and Technology Promotion Council under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India.
