Message from ​Chairman - CECB

Present Globalization has enabled scientists, researchers, intellectuals and practitioners all over the world to link together and work hand in hand to face up to new challenges that have arisen due to natural disasters. However our ultimate aspiration should be on formulating long-term solutions to these global issues in order to reduce the number of victims that increase day by day in landslide prone areas. Thus I find it as a great opportunity for all of us to actively contribute towards this end by contributing towards this global conference. I take this opportunity to invite you to share your valuable knowledge through effective and productive participation.

Occurrence of landslides and their reactivation have become a frequent natural phenomenon in Sri Lanka causing severe damages to life and property. As a mandatory technical institute to manage the landslide disaster in the country, National Building Research Organization (NBRO) has taken many initiatives for landslide risk reduction including the Landslide Hazard Zonation Mapping Programme (LHMP) which was the first that helped to identify the potential landslide areas in the country. I find it as a great opportunity to join with the 2 nd E-conference as a national level partner and I invite all of you to join with this Global Online Dialogue to extract the best to care the needed.
