The Disaster Management Center (DMC) says there are possibilities of landslides in Eheliyagoda, Elapatha, Kuruwita and Ratnapura Divisional Secretariat division and surrounding areas, if rain continues.

The National Building Research Organisation (NBRO) has issued a warning requesting people living in those areas to be watchful on the possibility of landslides, slope failures, rock falls, cutting failures and ground subsidence, if the rain continues, since the rainfall within the past 24 hours has exceeded 75mm.
