Following a particularly dry summer, a torrential rain event struck Western Norway on Tuesday 30 July 2019. The resulting floods and shallow landslides caused one fatality and severe damages to public and private infrastructure in the former Jølster municipality. Building on earlier work, in which we identified characteristics of the shallow landslides induced by torrential rains on unsaturated soils, we here present suggestions for adaptation of the Norwegian practice in landuse planning.
