That is very difficult. They would need to be aware of the land that is unstable. Wet weather or an earthquake can be a contributory factor, so they would need to watch for that. Places where landslides have previously occurred need to be watched. Flat places are safe, so they would be looking at steep hills and valleys. If they look at all of these factors, they can have a chance of predicting one, but usually they happen quickly and there is little chance to predict them.

Yes, landslides can occur near rivers, especially in areas with steep slopes and loose soil. Factors like heavy rainfall, erosion, and human activities can all contribute to landslides near rivers.
