Newswire and Ada Derana report that the National Building Research Organisation (NBRO) issued landslide warnings for eight Sri Lankan districts because of heavy rain. Newswire identifies the districts as Galle, Gampaha, Kalutara, Kandy, Kegalle, Kurunegala, Nuwara Eliya and Ratnapura, and says the advisory was issued on October 26.

Newswire, Newsfirst (සිංහල), Ada Derana (සිංහල), and Sri Lanka Mirror report Level 3 red evacuation warnings for Ratnapura, Ayagama, Pelmadulla, Kuruwita, Elapatha and Openayake divisions in Ratnapura District. Newswire and Sri Lanka Mirror say the red warning is in effect until 2:45 p.m. on October 27.

Newswire and Sri Lanka Mirror report Level 2 amber alerts in parts of Kalutara, Kandy, Kegalle, Kurunegala, Nuwara Eliya and Ratnapura districts. Listed locations include Walallawita, Dodangoda, Bulathsinhala and Madurawala; Udunuwara and Pasbage Korale; Dehiowita, Aranayake, Galigamuwa and Deraniyagala; Kurunegala; Ambagamuwa Korale, Kotmale East and Norwood; and Nivithigala, Kiriella, Balangoda, Eheliyagoda and Kalawana.

Newswire and Sri Lanka Mirror also report Level 1 yellow alerts across all eight districts. Sri Lanka Mirror lists locations including Thawalama and Karandeniya in Galle, Attanagalla in Gampaha, and additional divisions in the other districts. Rupavahini News separately reports first-level alerts for Thawalama, several Kalutara divisions, Kegalle divisions, and Ambagamuwa Korale and Norwood in Nuwara Eliya.

Newswire says the NBRO advised residents under red warnings to evacuate to safer places if rainfall continues, and those in amber areas to stay alert and be ready to leave if needed. Sri Lanka Mirror reports advice to watch for ground movement, cracks, leaning trees and unusual water seepage, follow official directions and leave promptly if authorities instruct them. Both outlets say warnings apply to people in landslide-prone settings such as steep slopes and valleys.
