You can't prevent flooding and landslides - these are natural processes that occurred long before humans and will continue long after our species is dead and gone. However, you can take steps to minimize the environmental impact of these as well as the devastation on human constructs like homes and businesses.

First, don't support development in flood zones - this would be the majority of the coasts around the world, as well as swamps and wetlands. These areas provide important buffers against flooding so that large volumes of topsoil aren't lost in large rains or sea surges. Second, encourage the planting of deep-rooting native plants such as coastal grasses and trees - their roots help hold the soil in place against the pull of moving water. Third, reduce your impact as much as possible - buy what you need, but not more, reduce/reuse/reycle, keep your energy consumption down as much as possible, etc.

To prevent yard flooding from poor drainage and keep the grass healthy, you can install a French drain or a dry well to redirect excess water, improve soil compaction, and aerate the lawn regularly. Additionally, consider planting water-absorbing plants and maintaining proper lawn care practices such as regular mowing, watering, and fertilizing.
