Survivors of the 1 September 2025 earthquake in Afghanistan have correctly assessed that rainfall-triggered landslides are much more likely in the aftermath of the mainshock. This illustrates how landslides extend the impact of an earthquake in time and space.

Afghan earthquake survivors refuse to return to villages, fearing landslides
Haunted by the fear that aftershocks could bring rocks crashing down from the mountains, the survivors of Afghan earthquakes vowed not to return to destroyed villages but camp in fields and on riverbanks instead, even without tents to keep off the rain.
