Lankadeepa reports that the National Building Research Organisation (NBRO) warned of landslide risk in 10 districts because of heavy rain; a separate Lankadeepa report gives the figure as seven. Ada Derana and Ada Derana (සිංහල) also report that warnings were issued for several districts.

Rupavahini News reports first-level yellow warnings for Tawalame in Galle District; Millaniya, Bulathsinhala, Beruwala and Madurawala in Kalutara; several divisions in Kegalle; Ambagamuwa Korale and Norwood in Nuwara Eliya; and Elapatha and Pelmadulla in Ratnapura. It reports second-level warnings for Walallawita in Kalutara and Kuruwita, Ayagama and Ratnapura in Ratnapura.

Newswire reports that NBRO issued Level 3 red evacuation warnings after rainfall exceeded 150 millimetres. Newsfirst and Hiru News identify the affected districts as Ratnapura, Kalutara and Nuwara Eliya; Ada Derana also reports Level 3 warnings in three districts. Newsfirst's report begins listing Ratnapura locations, including Ratnapura, Ayagama, Pelmadulla, Kuruwita and Elapatha, but its supplied text is incomplete.

Sri Lanka Mirror reports that warnings were due to heavy rainfall and were due to remain in effect until 11 p.m. on October 26. It describes Level 1 as yellow and Level 2 as amber; Rupavahini News gives specific locations at those levels, while several other reports focus on red alerts.
