Notice and Regrets

It is with regret that I wish to announce that we were unable to continue the SaveTheHills (STH) blog after April 2018, having done so for almost 10years since STH was established in Sep2007.
The reason:-

In our experience, STH has found that other social media platforms are today more efficient and 'user friendly' to disburse warnings and information.
While blogging may have once been a wonderful tool, today STH operates a WhatsApp (WA) group called 'Hazard Alerts' (HA) which is a much more effective way of disbursing information and warnings.
WA along with other platforms like FaceBook reaches out to wider audiences and very quickly while the blog maybe restricted to the more serious reader and for preserving data and historical facts.
However, since all of STH history and some useful data is published in the blog, STH will again start re-publishing the blog while apologizing for the break.

Firstly, we will publish the available rainfall and other records of this region and then significant events which were undertaken by us and our partners during the past in 2018.
