Falam sits in Myanmar’s northern or eastern mountains, where steep terrain and the summer monsoon combine to produce some of the country’s heaviest rainfall and its greatest flash-flood and landslide risk.
In the Chin Hills, one of Myanmar’s most mountainous regions, the town receives heavy monsoon rainfall funneled by the surrounding peaks. Because water draining off these mountains can reach valley towns and rivers very quickly, radar tracking of storm cells is especially important here, where warning time can be shorter than in the flatter lowlands.
