The National Building Research Organisation (NBRO) maintained its landslide early warning alerts across vulnerable hillside settlements in the Galle District today, September 22, 2026.

Divisions including Neluwa, Nagoda, and Thawalama remain under heightened surveillance following sustained monsoonal showers associated with a developing depression in the Bay of Bengal. Disaster Management Centre (DMC) emergency teams in Galle advised residents residing near steep road embankments and tea plantation slopes along the Gin Ganga catchment to monitor for rock falls and ground cracks, prepared to evacuate if rainfall intensity escalates.
