Landslide alerts cover parts of seven districts until November 12 evening

Landslide warnings have been extended for selected areas in Badulla, Colombo, Kalutara, Kandy, Kegalle, Nuwara Eliya and Ratnapura districts. The stated warning period runs from 4 pm on November 11 to 4 pm on November 12, Sri Lanka time.

Selected divisional-secretariat areas in Kegalle, Nuwara Eliya and Ratnapura are under a level-two amber alert. A level-one yellow alert applies to other specified areas across the seven districts. This does not mean every part of each district faces the same risk.

People in exposed locations should follow local warnings and be ready to move to safety if conditions deteriorate. New ground cracks, soil movement and leaning trees or poles should not be ignored.

The authorities have asked residents to report such signs promptly. Later official warnings and local evacuation instructions should guide decisions after this particular warning period.
