Abstract: Natural hazards are repeated in Madikeri since 2018 that take place during monsoon and damage crops, livestock and settlements. Data on flood, drought, cyclone and waterlogging were collected. Heavy rainfall not only cause floods and debris flows, but also trigger off landslides on steep slopes. The danger due to these slope instabilities is considerably high, as they often evolve into debris flow that may damage cultivated land, buildings and infrastructures, and even cause fatalities. This paper discusses certain technical aspects of the landslides at various locations of kodagu district that triggered off by heavy rainfall in the season of July - August 2018. This article concentrates on the documentation and analysis of rainfall events, with a focus on evaluating the effects of urbanization on landslides. It summarizes the results of one landslide inventories after severe rainstorms in Kodagu during the previous month (August 2018), concentrating on the observations during field surveys and similarities between forest and open land.
Keywords: flood, drought, cyclone, heavy rainfall, landslides.
