This  case  study  discusses  risk assessment  and  the  subsequent methodologies  and  approaches
for  landslide  risk  reduction.  The Baguio City landslide risk mitigation project in the Philippines focused on strengthening  community  capacity and  enhancing  local  commitment. The project for Kaluthara District in Sri Lanka developed a landslide early warning  system  through  a  school-based network of rainfall monitoring stations.  Finally,  the  project  for Patong  City  in  Phuket,  Thailand relied  more  on  instrumentation and  technical  risk  assessment  as the  basis  for  structural  mitigation
measures.
