SaveTheHills(STH) is a group of concerned citizens who are raising awareness about landslides in Darjeeling-Sikkim Himalaya. Many landslides are the direct or indirect result of human interference and preventable if sufficient care is taken. As such, unless we begin a comprehensive and sustained program towards landslide management, prevention and mitigation, the consequences of ignoring years of human callousness will, in the future be devastating.

STH activities in Kalimpong
A contingent of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) is in Kalimpong for the entire week (13May-17May2013) carrying out their "peacetime" role of training, capacity building and raising awareness about disasters.
STH was extremely glad to work alongside them as a local coordinator and took advantage of the NDRF visit to talk about cyclones and Cyclone MAHASEN in particular as it roars through the Bay of Bengal.
Several thousand school children and citizens of Kalimpong would be more aware about disasters, cyclones and the NDRF by the end of the week.
Praful Rao,
Kalimpong
