Did you know that 86 percent of landslides are caused to some extent by human activity? Learn how you can protect yourself and your property from a potential landslide by attending a free landslide awareness meeting, sponsored by the City of Seattle. The meeting will be held at the South Seattle Community College in the Judge Warren & Nobie Chan Education Center on December 6 from 10:00 a.m. to noon.

Presentations will include a discussion of the causes of landslides and proper drainage and vegetation for sloping sites. These presentations will be followed by a question-and-answer session and time for one-on-one discussions.

Joining the City of Seattle staff are experts from:

• The American Society for Civil Engineers
• The Association of Engineering Geologists
• The International Society of Arboriculture
• Associated Building Contractors

Please RSVP today by contacting Tyson Lin, Community Relations, at (206) 684-8443 or tyson.lin@seattle.gov.
