• Small slips, rock falls, and sinking land, at the bottom of slopes. • Sticking doors and window frames, which may mean the land is slowly moving under the building. • Gaps where window frames are not fitting properly. • Steps, decks, and verandas, moving or tilting away from the rest of the building. • New cracks or bulges on the ground, road, footpath, retaining walls and other hard surfaces. • Tilting trees, retaining walls, or fences. "Get out of the path of the landslide quickly. Evacuate if the building you are in is in danger," BOP Civil Defence said.
