Barbados does experience mass wasting, better known as landslides, mostly on the northeast part of the island known as the Scotland district. Landslides in this area make some land unusable for agriculture as well as blocking roads. The Eocene sediments are the greatest contributor to mass wasting as they are prone to soil creep. The Boscobel Landslip of 1901 was the greatest landslide in Barbados' history as there was approximately 10 million cubic meters of displaced sediment. Barbados was also at high risk for landslides and flooding in 2016 because the soil had gotten extremely dry during El Niño and when it's counterpart La Niña was expected to bring heavy rains, the soil wouldn't be able to absorb all of it. Barbados is taking full advantage of the latest technology in order to be able to make decisions up to six months in advance based on seasonal forecasts. They are using this time to prepare and mitigate impacts from mass wasting, and they also make sure to warn citizens to brace for these hazards.
