The landslide evacuation at the exit of the Gaoyuan Tunnel in Lichuan on September 20 was selected as one of the Top Ten Typical Cases of Successful Geological Disaster Evacuations in 2023.


5 month 11 On [date], the Department of Geological Exploration Management of the Ministry of Natural Resources issued… 2023 Top Ten Typical Cases of Successful Prevention of Geological Disasters Nationwide for the Year, Lichuan “September 20” The landslide‑evacuation case at the exit of the Gaoyuan Tunnel has been successfully selected.

 

2023 year 9 month 20 day 17 Time 45 Due to the ongoing rainfall, a landslide and rockfall occurred in the Xiamadong area of Groups 18 and 22, Fanrong Village, Shaxi Township, Lichuan City, resulting in approximately… 24 An area of forest spanning several mu was damaged, the exit of the Gaoyuan Tunnel was buried, and a section of the river channel became partially blocked. Fortunately, after receiving a meteorological risk warning, the local authorities acted swiftly, ordering the two work zones of Section 3 of the Lixian–Xian project to suspend all operations and successfully evacuating all construction personnel to safe areas. As a result, this landslide did not cause any casualties.

 

Lichuan City is located in the southwestern Hubei mountainous region and is a high-risk area for geological disasters. 2023 year 9 month 19 On [date], upon receiving meteorological risk warning information for geological hazards, the Lichuan Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources and Planning immediately instructed the land and resources offices of all townships to intensify patrol inspections, hazard assessments, and monitoring and early‑warning efforts, and to strictly adhere to… Eight should be transferred as required. the principle of promptly evacuating residents from hazardous areas.

 

In 9 month 20 day 16 Time 57 At [time], the Lichuan Meteorological Observatory issued an orange alert for heavy rainfall. In response, the Lichuan Bureau of Natural Resources and Planning promptly instructed the Shaxi Land and Resources Office to urge the two work zones under the Lixian–Sanbiao project to immediately suspend operations and relocate personnel and equipment to safe areas. 17 Time 45 At the exit of Gaoyuan Tunnel, a landslide occurred.

 

This successful avoidance of danger was made possible by the comprehensive coverage of meteorological and geological hazard early‑warning systems, as well as by the timely response of the natural resources authorities at the provincial, prefectural, and county levels upon receiving the warning information. Promptly activate the geological disaster response mechanism, Eight should be transferred as required. Its practicality has been highlighted.

 

Construction projects in mountainous areas—such as transportation, water conservancy, and hydropower—are often located far from residential zones, sometimes even in remote, high‑altitude regions, making them highly susceptible to localized rainfall. Coupled with the disturbances caused by construction activities, these sites face particularly acute risks of geological hazards. Moreover, construction projects are inherently dynamic, and standard disaster‑prevention plans developed by local governments often fail to account for all contingencies, leaving critical gaps in risk management. This case underscores the need for natural resources authorities to strengthen risk oversight of construction projects and issue timely warnings. As the primary entities responsible for disaster prevention, construction firms must identify geological hazards as potential safety risks, implement robust monitoring and mitigation measures, and rigorously fulfill their accountability obligations.
