The Sri Lankan annual rainfall pattern is greatly influenced by the two monsoon seasons in the year, and it is divided into four periods. From December to February (the northeast monsoon period : Maha), a monsoon blows from the northeast and brings rain to the east side of the island. From March to April (the inter-monsoon period), showers and thunderstorms occur frequently around the southwestern area with the northing of the equatorial depression. From May to September (the southwestern monsoon period : Yala), there is rainfall on an average of 1,000-3,500 mm per year in the southwestern part. The central highlands also have almost the same amount of rainfall caused by monsoon. From October to November (the inter-monsoon period), there is rain throughout the island by outbreak of a cyclone. Under the influence of such a climate, sediment disasters occur in an average on approximately 50 places per year on the mountainous area in Sri Lanka (from data of National Building Research Organisation : NBRO) On 29 th October, 2014, a landslide disaster occurred in Koslanda, Badulla District, Uva Province (Fig. 1), central part of the Sri Lanka. Koslanda is located in the south end mountainous area on the central part of Sri Lanka (c.f. Situation Report of Disaster Management Centre (2016)). In Koslanda, there is a wet season from December to February under the influence of the northeast monsoon. Sediment disasters such as landslides and debris flows mostly occur during this period. Three of the authors (Mr. Handa, Mr. Hara and Mr. Okawara) were dispatched to Sri Lanka for "Technical Cooperation for Landslide Mitigation Project", and conducted an aerial survey with Mr. Shimano : JICA Sri Lanka Office and officers of Disaster Management Centre (DMC) and NBRO, Ministry of Disaster
